Having Pain While Sleeping And Walking After Meniscus Surgery. No Improvement With Cortisone Injection
I had meniscus surgery about 8 months ago. I still am in a bad way. It is painful to walk, sleep and sit. I had two cortisone shots and now the liquid gel in my knee. Still very little improvement. Running is out of the question, as is jumping....any suggestions?

Hi,
Usually after menisectomy , there is a significant relief.But in your case ,persistent pain needs to be evaluated.Kindly do take another orthopaedic opinion.The very cortisone shots and liquid gel indicate that meniscus tear was not the lone problem.There is something associated with it .If clinically my findings correlate, then an MRI scan would be the best to know the status of the knee.
