I just got this diagnosis on Friday past; medial meniscus tear. My podiatrist found it after ordering an MRI of the knee, now I’m waiting an additional week and a half to see the orthopod. In the meantime, more of nothing but swimming.
This is about to ruin a ski trip for me (January, reservations made already), and I’m wondering whether I’ll be able to run again. The bike doesn’t bother it much, and swimming not at all. However improving my swim split by swimming all the time won’t mean a dang thing if I have to DNF when I get off the bike.
Other than a dull pain though, it ONLY hurts when I run.
I could use some hope myself. Fingers crossed for a good diagnosis, but the doctor doesn’t seem to be in too much of a hurry to move it along. I’d go under the knife tomorrow if I could start my recovery sooner…
