Knee surgery for discoid meniscus Posted: 02-07-08 06:13am
When I was around 10 years old I had knee
surgery for discoid meniscus. My knee cap
would dislocate and lock up. It was
removed. I have continued to have popping
in my knee. I recently started (about 6
mos.) going to the gym. I started to run
on the treadmill and take an abs and total
body class. I think I remember that I am
supposed to build up the muscle above my
knee before I run on the treadmill. So I
have several questions- Is this true?
running on the treadmill doesn't really
hurt my knee (sometimes it aches but it
does that when it rains so I'm not too
concerned)- use of the bike makes my knee
sting, is there something else I
can/should use? I tried the elliptical and
that hurts as well. Is there anywhere I
can find information on what I should be
doing? I feel awkward and uncomfortable in
the classes and am wondering if this is
just psychological- the trainer tells me
that I am doing the execises
correctly.

I'm sorry, but I cannot answer this
question. You will need an expert opinion
from a physiotherapist!
