How does someone tear their meniscus? i think i tore mine but i don't remember what i did for that to happen. can a lunge cause a tear?

Yes: Some people can have a severe injury and tear their meniscus, but others may not. If a meniscus has become degenerative in an early arthritic process, it can be torn by a simple lunge or twist of the knee. Thank you for your question.

Yes.: There are many ways to tear your meniscus. Often, this is associated with a pivotal activity, but it is not uncommon to not remember what caused your meniscus tear. Yes, a lunge can cause a tear. If you are concerned, you should see an orthopedist to evaluate.
