Had Meniscus surgery and now another tear

yep. happened to me. he fixed one tear and missed another. the one he missed was in the joint. there was more damage than he thought. mri caught one but not the other. he actually fixed the one the mri missed. second time he fixed the tear, found more damage as well. plus was still tissue floating around. got that out. ground material off my knee cap. usually they remove material from underside of your cap to make room. most times it works. sometimes it grows back and they have to do it again.

hi, had a meniscus repaired and my fat pad removed from under the kneecap in June, I am still in some discomfort...especially when using the stairs.

yes, i had arthroscopic knee surgery to clean up under my knee with lateral release(cut the ligament) in march. i was not impressed with the release surgery as my knee has a lump there now, and i too was just told i have stuff under my knee cap again requiring partial knee replacement. my right knee was better after knee arthroscopy, but i did not have lateral release, thank goodness. i wish you luck.

i had the surgery originally in 1986. had it redone twice since then. they never tell you the problems you will have after they open the joint up. season changes are painful. weather changes are painful. stairs are painful. lack of cartilage has cause thigh bone to crack up.

A middle-aged person gets knee pain while doing something active, and sometimes a pop or shift is felt. The knee swells and becomes painful, and activity is difficult.
