A member asked:
Have meniscus tear w/loose foreign object. unable to do surgery at the moment. will eliptical machine exercise create more damage? or yoga?

No twist: Best to get it fixed. However, in the mean time, avoid twisting and pivoting activities as well as high impact. Stationary biking and elliptical would be best. Yoga should be ok.

Perhaps: With a meniscus tear and a loose body, there is a good chance that you may develop locking or catching in the knee. It is a good idea to avoid twisting excercises until you have the surgery. In the meantime, straight line exercising (such as eliptical) should be ok.
