Q. What symptoms come with a meniscus injury?

A.

Marked pain on bending the knee, frequent swelling, and pain on standing up from sitting.

📝 Detailed Answer

  • Marked pain on bending the knee
  • Difficulty bending the knee
  • The knee swells often
  • Pain on standing up from sitting
  • The knee loses strength on stairs or slopes

Excessive exercise, cartilage weakened by ageing, and injury or accident form the background. It is common where impact to the knee repeats, as in athletes.
