@drbraceofficial: Five things no one tells you about meniscus recovery. Number one: Complete rest is a trap. Your meniscus gets its nutrients by absorbing joint fluid like a sponge, which only happens when you move. Number two: You cannot "stretch it out." Forcing a deep knee bend to stretch the pain doesn't loosen the joint. It aggressively grinds the torn flap of cartilage inside. Number three: Your hips are usually to blame. Weak glutes cause your knee to cave inward with every step, putting all your body weight directly onto the torn edge. Number four: Surgery isn't always a magic fix. If you just cut out the torn piece without fixing your mechanics, you are simply accelerating bone-on-bone arthritis. Number five: You must strengthen the joint without compressing the cartilage.
