A member asked:
Can having a displaced meniscus cause swelling in the knee? what causes burning pain in the knee? please help and explain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: A displaced meniscus is when one of the cartilage discs in the joint flips up on itself and this can create locking, catching, pain, swelling and a sense of instability exacerbated with twisting and turning. These symptoms warrant an evaluation and possibly an MRI to confirm the diagnosis.
