Sometimes the knee doesn’t hurt constantly, but certain movements feel off. A sudden twist, sitting down, or getting up quickly can trigger a sharp discomfort that wasn’t there before.
This is often how a meniscus injury shows up. The meniscus acts like a shock absorber inside the knee, helping distribute weight evenly. When it gets torn, the joint may still function, but not as smoothly. Some people notice a catching sensation, while others feel discomfort during specific movements.
The tricky part is that the pain can come and go, making it easy to ignore. But over time, the tear can affect how the knee handles pressure, especially during daily activities.
Treatment depends on how the tear is affecting movement. In some cases, guided care can help manage the condition, while in others, minimally invasive procedures are used to repair or support the meniscus. The goal is always to maintain natural movement as much as possible.
Dr. Ronak Kothari in Andheri focuses on understanding how the injury is impacting the knee before recommending treatment. If your knee feels restricted or uncomfortable during certain movements, exploring meniscus tear treatment can help restore smoother function.
