Sir, actually I have been suffering from meniscus tearing for 1year. Now my knee has blocked and i'm not able to get rid of this. However it has happened many times with while walking, running upstairs, even sleeping sometimes but i was able to get rid of this but now i can't get rid of it.This time it has blocked very seriously even i am not able to walking. Sir, please provide me the best solutio for this should i go to the surgery(if yesof what type either laser surgery or open surgery)
Hi. The symptom you mentioned appears to be of locking of knee which is most commonly seen after bucket handle tear of the meniscus. Get it removed by key hole or laser or arthroscopic surgery - all the same. It is 10-15 min work and complete relief of locking symptoms.

⢠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.
