How Long Does PT Take To Work For Torn Meniscus?
Posted , 5 users are following.
I posted 2 months ago about having a 3 year old MRI which showed a torn meniscus but no doctor wanted to operate, said PT would work. It did but now it is back. I went to PT but while awaiting new visit authorizations, quit for a few weeks but did it at home, not so diligently. It seemed to be better and after a long walk yesterday, hurts again. I am starting tomorrow again. How long does it usually take to feel improvement? I am feeling so discouraged.

I had torn menisci...both sides. Required a scoping to fix it. A few days of elevation and ice...maybe a week at the most. Done. If it's torn, I don't think any amount of PT is gonna fix it.

Depends on severity. If it's torn bad and getting stuck in the joint, you could have pieces floating around.
