Hello Everyone,

I have had meniscus tears in both knees with surgery, both 10-12 years ago.
Understand with tears portion of the meniscus where its torn is removed ?
Since then re-injured my right knee playing soccer, and symptoms, pain and strength issue's feel the same .
In speaking with my primary confirmed there are some tears again in the meniscus.
In doing my own research and speaking with friends in the medical field, there saying a may be a candidate for this optional surgery.

I'm looking for feedback if you have had the procedure done .
And also looking for a doctor to review my MRI and possibly if this type of surgery would be an option.
Thanks, OlyT

i know regentative meds recommend letting it heal on its on. They claim when you have it repaired arthritis sets in. PRP takes care of the arthritis.
