Meniscus Reduced in the Left Knee
Hi,
From last 3 days, i was feeling very uneasy(not painful but still uncomfortable) while walking as i was feeling difference between left knee and right knee. RIGHT knee was much more fixed than Left Knee. I was feeling like my left knee was loose. I visited orthopaedic doctor. After seeing the X-Ray , he told me that meniscus in the left knee was reduced resulting my Thigh bone and Shin Bone getting into contact while walking.
The doctor prescribed some tablets and a Knee Cap to wear every alternate Hour.
Is this is a serious issue?
What diet I have to follow?
Usually how does the meniscus gets healed? And how many days it will take to be normal?
Thanks in advance.
⢠Contrast Fomentation (Hot and Cold).
⢠Avoid Squatting-
⢠Avoid sitting Cross legged
⢠Contrast bath---It is a form of treatment in which knee is applied warm water followed by the immediate application of the knee with ice water. This procedure is repeated several times, alternating hot and cold. Note that the treatment should always end in the ice water, as heat will induce the body's inflammatory response, while cold helps to decrease inflammation.
