I was 20 at the time and am 32 now.
I was heavily into cycling up until 2017, as the surgeon at the time suggest I take up but I developed chronic pelvic pain and haven’t been able to ride. I have not been able to figure that pain out after many of visits to various specialists so I have up last year and sold my road bike and took up running.
This year I developed some minor pain after running. Kind of a dull diffuse ache in my right knee. Sometimes feels inside and sometimes outside. Not sure if it is even related to the meniscus removal. Running itself is fine, no pain during only a minor ache after My DR sent me for an X-ray which came back good, no signs of OA. My MRI results came back and are as follows:
“There is a small focus of susceptibility metallic artifact in the anterior distal femur, superior and femoral condyles centrally, slightly towards the medial aspect. Scarring in Hoffas fat related to prior arthroscopicy. The lateral meniscus is markedly diminutive in the anterior and posterior horns and is absent through the body. There is a horizontal tear in the anterior horn meniscal remnant and blunting/irregularity of the posterior horn meniscal remnant. The medial meniscus remains intact.
Cartilage thinning and irregularity in the lateral tibial/femoral compartment more so over the femoral condyle. Cartilage in the medial femoral/tibial is maintained.
Small joint effusion, very small bakers cyst and small amount of fluid or cysistic change extending proximally, posterior to the medial gastrocnemius.
1. Prior arthroscopy with Scaring In Hoffa’s fat
2. Previous lateral menisectomy with absent medial tissue through the body and markedly diminutive anterior and prosthetist horns.
3. Degenerative changes with moderate chondrosis in the lateral tibial/femoral compartment.
4. Small joint effusion. Small bakers cyst. “
My Dr read the above report and suggested that I can keep running 5 and 10ks but to avoid any marathon distances. He said it was better than to be expected 12 years after a near full lateral meniscus removal.
