Meniscus Tear

Tweet

Hello, I've written about asking for best ways to lose weight. And I've been some what successful (with proper dieting & Exercise). Now I have a new one: About a decade ago, I had an accident that injured my knee. I never sort help or had a doctor look at my knee. I just ignored it, and heeled it w/a brace and ice. Now that I've become more active, my knee injury came back to haunt me. Since the pain has become unbearable, I went to see a doctor and found out that I have a "meniscus tear". I have to see an orthopedic doctor in the upcoming months and there's a chance I may/may not need surgery. But here's my question: Since lately my knee has been bothering me, it's leaving me unable to walk at times. I have had a cortisone shot put in, but didn't ease the pain. Now I'm using a cane to help take off the weight of my good leg. Since walking has been an issue, is there any way I can lose weight without hurting my knee? Keep in mind, it locks on a daily basics leaving me unable to walk at all. I thank you all for your time and look forward to hearing your advice. Thanks, Giggles
