A member asked:
Had 30 % of left medial meniscus removed 3 months ago. had pt and cortisone shot. still in pain and limp. is there something wrong?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Other findings: At age 58, one may have had more than meniscus damage. There is a great chance that you had significant articular cartilage damage that could be inhibiting your recovery. Recommend anti-inflammatory and pool therapy. If no better, need to go back and see the operating surgeon.
