A member asked:
Injured meniscus 3 weeks ago. no tears, but bruising. im experiencing renewed pain and swelling a day after performing rehabilitative exercises. should this be a cause for concern?

Possibly: Your pain seems to be centered around something other than the meniscus, but only an ortho exam and/or an MRI can tell you exactly what is injured. I’d rest the leg another week, and give it time, or go see an orthopedic surgeon and find out what may be wrong. My guess is that you have ongoing muscle and ligament injury that will improve over time
