So my physician told me that I apparently have either a partial or complete tear of the medial cartilage/meniscus. I am being referred to a surgeon. From what I've read there is a chance I won't have to have surgery if the tear isn't too bad. I have resumed training for the last three weeks with light weights progressively getting heavier and stronger, with no pain or swelling afterwards so I am guessing it's a partial tear. 6 plates per side on the leg press and 225 for squats. Way off what I normally do but I hadn't trained legs for over 2 months until three weeks ago.The only problem seems to be some clicking sounds and the feeling as though it may wanna lock. Having said that there is a possibility that the surgeon may want to snip and clip. Has anyone undergone meniscus surgery and what were the results? **** me I've had a run of shit luck. Just got my elbow drained and cortisone shot for bursitis. Haven't been able to press anything for six weeks now. Just back, bis and light legs.
