I was wondering about symptoms of a meniscus rip. Has anyone ever experienced it? Did you have surgery? Did you wear a brace afterwards? How long till you could walk? Please relieve! They think I might have torn my meniscus. My mri results won't come contained by until Monday. PLease! I appreciate it all.
My symptoms include: pain on outside of knees, difficulty bending, popping, grinding, not a lot of swelling. !
Answer:   

Painful thumbs!!?

well should wait till the MRI results. but you should wear a brace. brace selection from a basic to a really fancy depending on your pain is how strong your brace should be
