A member asked:
Why does the back of knee hurt after my meniscus surgey last week?
3 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Meniscus: The pain is not uncommon since most meniscus tears are located at the back part of the knee. The pain should resolve soon.

Post-op: Just sore after the procedure. Follow up routinely with your doc.

Normal: The meniscus tear is typically in the back and therefore the nerves that enter the back of the knee sense the pain from the surgical work in the back of the knee.
