The meniscus is a shock-absorbing piece of cartilage in your knee. Tears can happen suddenly (sports or twisting injuries) or gradually over time due to wear and tear—especially as we age.
Common symptoms include:
• Knee pain or tenderness
• Swelling or stiffness
• Catching, locking, or clicking
• Difficulty fully bending or straightening the knee
• Pain with walking, stairs, or squatting
The good news? Many meniscus tears do NOT require surgery.
