kirks5oh Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 My left knee started clicking after a long run this week. No pain, just a click with every extension. I have a radial tear in my lateral meniscus in my right knee that I haven't had patched up (damaged it 11 years ago when I was a poor college kid). Am I going to die? You're probably ok, unless it starts hurting. Meniscal tears in adults don't heal. Think of a suspension bridge. The cables are actually made of 100's of smaller cables. If some of the cables rupture, they are no longer functional. In the case of the knee, once some of the meniscus tears, the torn part is no longer holding tension to absorb the shock of the knee joint. You remove it so that it does not tear further into the 'cables', or move between the femur and tibia and cause the knee to lock up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwishiwascool Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Thanks for the free consult. It's strange, on my run tonight my left knee was fine; no clicks. My right knee clicked audibly for about an hour after the run. Still no pain. Squats do hurt so I avoid them and stick to the sled. Getting old is the worst.

Sure BRO, sure. you know the mechanics, sure Bro. nothing about using your hips in the movement either, or why you don't stop at the 90*. if not wow i can tell people I can handle 3000lbs of force on my knees, that's pretty sweet Bro. just pansy excuses on why not to squat.

V8 Beast Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 I had acl surgery 6 months ago so my stuff clicks off an on (scar tissue in weird places). My son is going in to have his acl replaced at 6am tomorrow at Childrens. When they went in to repair his meniscus (his knee was clicking) they found he only had about 25% of his acl left. I'm glad I opted to have it looked at. If he would have played football on that leg I'm pretty sure at some point he would have done some serious damage. Now I can only hope he doesn't end up with arthritis in his 20's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeesammy Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 My knee popped one time on the football field after a fat kid rolled into it. My ankle made a funky noise as well. Never been the same since. I'd say just go to a Doctor that is referred by someone on here and never look back. Better to just get it out of the way. Always regret not going somewhere right away and finding out the issue and getting it fixed. All this OSU talk involving medical professions make me very tempted to make a switch in majors. :gabe: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't kept up with him, but I knew him when he was a little kid. I think he had an older sister named Sharon. My brother knows him too.
