The meniscus is a Crescent-shaped cartilage that acts as a shock absorber between the shinbone and the thighbone. It can be torn due to sudden twists or degenerative changes that happen due to age. In fact, a meniscal tear is one of the most common knee injuries.
Symptoms of a meniscus tear include:
• Pain in the knee
• Swelling
• Difficulty in bending and straightening the leg
• Feeling of Knee lock up or Knee get stuck
In the beginning, the pain may manageable. But once the inflammation sets in, your knee will probably hurt quite a bit.
