[quote=Anonymous]I have a torn medial and lateral meniscus in the same knee.  Did it in early 2018.  Went through PT and the doctor said that there was nothing left but surgery.  I opted not to do surgery and am pretty much pain free.

I do everything except things that are high impact on my knee, which means nothing that is pounding, like running and no repetitive jumping or high impact jumps, like box jumping.  I also don’t do things that require pivoting or anything that hurts.

The key for me is keeping strong quads and always maintaining good form.  There are things I have to modify in order to maintain my form, like I do burpees to a box and sometimes when I deadlift, I raise my bar off the floor - I’m really tall so I am still lifting the same distance as the average person. I also take safety precautions like having a box or some sort of stool behind me when I do squats, especially weighted ones, so that if my knee gives out, I won’t fall and hurt myself.

This has been working for six years and counting.[/quote]
