A member asked:
I had meniscus surgery 3 years ago and now have severe pain again. i am 63 can i have a second surgery or can i remedy with less traumatic therapy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Try to postpone : A second surgery unless u have tried other approaches like physical therapy, acupuncture, magnetic therapy (nikken.Com), or get a second opinion. If u have weight issues, losing weight may be beneficial.Best wishes! http://orthoinfo.Aaos.Org/topic.Cfm?Topic=a00358 http://www.Home-remedies-for-you.Com/askquestion/4020/home-remedies-for-meniscus-tear-i-got-a-knee-injur.Html.
