Meniscus injury

[ForestGrump63]

Eventually saw my GP who coincidentally has an orthopaedic specialty. He suspects meniscus injury and I’ve been referred for a scan. No running or long walks allowed. Non weight bearing exercise only until my leg muscles are strengthened. Picking up an exercise bike later this morning

Good idea. The cycling will help you keep your fitness.

Plus I can do it whilst watching telly 👍

Really sorry that you are still sidelined with this ForestGrump63 - so frustrating for you. I think its good that you have been referred for a scan though, as it will help pinpoint exactly what the problem is.

Fingers crossed for a positive outcome and healing vibes coming your way!🙂

It is, I’d reached 8k on the magic plan by middle of July when it happened 😢 the 10k goal was within my reach, then I trod on a stick whilst out walking and it all came crashing down 😢

So sorry to hear this FG63 but I’m glad you’re getting some help - 🤞 you’re back out running before too long!

Ouch! All the best with the knee.

Oh no! I had a meniscus tear a few years ago and it wasn't pleasant. Hope you make a speedy recovery.

Hi! It's lovely to hear from you and I hope that this latest news can be the start of your rehabilitation. A bike sounds a terrific idea. Hopefully it's not torn and you can begin to build strength back up again. Sending best wishes!
