Could Having Meniscus Surgery Cause Pain In Knee While Moving?

My knee is fine while sitting and my legs are bent. When I extend my leg while seated my knee begins to ache in the front on the inside of my knee. Then when I stand and walk on it I experience a lot more pain. I have had a meniscus surgery on this knee before, could that be the issue?

Hi,

thank you for providing the brief history of you.

As you mentioned about your meniscus surgery in the past the type of surgery if you have had mentioned it would have given a view to explain further. Since, as of now a thorough musculoskeletal assessment is guided and by performing special clinical orthopedic test we can come close to the cause. Also, if needed an MRI of the knee will be performed to see if any soft tissue injury is present. MRI will guide for the extent and grade of the soft tissue injury.

By undergoing, rest, medication and physical therapy you should be fine if there is no damage to the soft tissue. Also, the scar mobilization and also the knee muscle torque training is needed to get the optimum strength. Once the torque training is completed the future recurrence is avoided.

In my clinical practice by performing the thorough assessment and later if needed an MRI and post which physical therapy is advised to my patients and we get 100% success rate and future pain avoiding also.

I expect the same from you.
