A member asked:
How do i know if i have a meniscus injury or just a strain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Meniscus vs strain: The tincture of time. A strain will usually resolve in a short period of time(a month or less). Most symptomatic meniscal tears will continually be painful and will intermittently swell.
