According to my MRI and CAT scan I had a tibial plateau fracture, torn ACL, and torn MCL. After my surgery, my OS said my Tibia was perfectly fine (pristine was the word he used) not even a dent. But my femur had a "rough" area that he wasn't sure was from my accident (it could have been old) and my meniscus had a grade 3 tear. He repaired my meniscus and fixed my femur (since he was"already in there." )
Anyway, the point I'm trying to make is that my MRI was wrong and so was the CAT scan. So if your still in pain I would definitely consider having them look inside your knee. (I had no pain and all my surgeons thought that was odd. They just assumed I had a high tolerance for pain. Which I didn't since nothing was broken) (And I saw 3 different ortho surgeons because I didn't want a plate in my knee unless it was absolutely necessary... Turns out I didn't need a plate at all)

My buds the head trainer at a major university. If the athlete has insurance and it will pay for an MRI, they get one. If not and the university is on the hook, they just scope it.

I'm wondering if anyone else has had this knee issue: I didn't get it from any sports or anything which makes me feel dumber lol. I was at a friend's house and had my leg under me. I turned to look at something and my knee went "pop" extremely loud followed by excruciating pain for like 20 minutes. It didn't seem to swell. Then after that it only hurt up and down stairs. Well, I am in the military, and I went to a school for a couple months and the knee pain got worse. It cracks and pops about 20 times a day and hurts sometimes when it finally does crack or pop. When I sit too long it stiffens and locks. I went to a PA and told him all this and he said "patellar tendonitis." Gave me naproxen which doesn't do anything. Well it's getting worse so I got an MRI done today and waiting on that. I've been told by other people with knee problems I tore something - and could have torn my meniscus. But I'm wondering why the doc would tell me it was patellar tendonitis when I told him about the pop? I know patellar tendonitis and torn meniscus have similar symptoms but it's now to the point I can barely walk. Now I think the rest of my leg is compensating because I have hip pain for a month now and in my thigh it feels like when you see someone pull an elastic band as tight as they can until it might snap but it doesn't snap - that's how my thigh feels now.
Anyone have ideas what it might be? I've seen that sometimes MRI results don't show up anything but I know something serious is going on in there.

Im 16 and cant do any sports or run even walking or sitting for a long time hurts. SOMEONE PLEASE HElP. I don't know what to do now.

See another doctor, preferrably one who will listen to you and carefully examine you before looking at your MRI, preferrably an orthopedist or sports medicine specialist who is experienced with teenagers--since at 16 your bones are not fully mature (if you're a young man) and treatment may be different than for an adult.
If you tell us where you are womeone may be able to recommend (also good if we know your insurance situation.)

Im a 55 year old woman who has had problems with both knees for the last few years. I love to walk/run mildly and over time it seemed like it was getting harder to keep up with my old regiment . Lately i noticed that it was getting harder and harder to walk up hills and then the stairs in my home. It got to the point where i actually had to crawl up my stairs. I had an Mri done on both knees because of the pain and swelling
After cortizone shots and having my knees drained over the next couple weeks I insisted on a Mri. The results were negative. Thank goodness my doctor decided to scope them anyway. Both knees had ripped menisci. They were trimmed i followed with therapy and i could walk again with limited pain. Now 6 years later I am again going in for meniscus surgery. This time it did show up on my MRI. So I would definately push for a follow up even if the MRI doesnt show anything. As long as your insurance covers it why not take care if it now instead of trying to guess for years/months what is wrong.

Second Meniscus Repair should I have it done?
General Info:
• Male 36 H: 5'7 W: 140
• ACL Repair and partial lateral meniscectomy in 2000
• Ongoing lateral pain and inflammation post exercise last 4-5 months.
• Impact and climbing sports seem to increase pain and inflammation
About 4-5 months ago I tweaked my leg on hike but not immediately painful and within 2 weeks I started having knee pain and chronic inflammation after most exercises even non impact swimming /cycle. Knee feels tight and swollen after any exercises. Cycling/swimming is possible none of the my favorites like skiing/surfing or running . Been doing loads of research. Rested for a few weeks light activity no swimming or cycling. Now I am currently doing knee VMO exercises knee, PEMF machine 2 times a week, loads of vits: Glucosamine/Chrono, gelatin, fish oil and cycling 2 times a week trying to rehab. I have been to 3 doctors and had MRI. The first ones recommend NSAIDS which I took for 1 week straight no real change. Last doctor said I have a very thin Lateral meniscus and recommends meniscus allocraft/ transplant.
Right now I can’t afford that.
My question is should I go in for another meniscus removal considering not much left? I read on forums that many people have had it done 3 times. Worried about making it worse? Should I hold out for PRP injections and see what happens? Like to try Stem cell injections, HGH perhaps? Missing $$$ for that?
How to get Chronic inflammation to go away?
In my opinion the future of medicine will be cell healing and less cutting and sawing.
Thanks for any help /advice well received.
