i have multiple meniscus tears and arthritis in my right knee. physical therapy, riding exercise bike and walking with rx brace has helped a lot. Hydraulic acid injections in my knee have helped. No more cortisone shots because cortisone worsens osteoporosis (which i also have).

it’s my goal to avoid surgeries. in recent years i’ve had too many surgical complications

Sounds like you're doing the right things Elisabeth. If you have meniscus tears the good news is that you're not bone on bone. I think the exercise bike is best for painful knees, so keep up the great work!
