Can you tear your meniscus by stepping off of a stool? did this two weeks ago with pain back of my knee, told could be meniscus or quad tear. mri 3/18

Meniscus tear: can often occur through trauma. Many times tissue is weak and one last move can produce symptoms. Please see your doc. There is a good prognosis for this. Peace and good health.
