I have a meniscal tear and think I will be turned down for surgery. Has anyone experienced any successful results with conservative treatment of a meniscal tear? Many thanks.

Hi, I had an arthroscopy for a meniscus tear, it lasted for quite a few years.
I have since had both knees replaced.
I don't think there is any way of dealing with it rather than go in and take any loode bits out.

The microfracture was good, lasted about two years, that was on my left knee, I'd had my right one replaced a couple of years before.
I've since had the left one replaced as well. Arthritis was just too bad, bone on bone, and now in my hip and spine, so very prone to it.

If it's torn it needs to be fixed. It can get worse. If the pieces get caught in the joint it will lock and that hurts. If it chews off pieces they can float around and get caught in joint and hurt and cause locking. They screwed around authorizing my treatment and I ended up with a mess and bleeding inside. I have heard of some people doing therapy for it. But I am not sure how it turned out. Depends on how bad the tear is I guess.
