Knee tear

I have a menescis tear in my right knee. i understand this is an injury hockey players got. i got it after a car accident and overuse of the right leg all the while the left was in a cast. 

sometimes my right leg buckles.

i would like to start running again. but i'm scared. it's been three years. i do other exercises -- elliptical, treadmill, stairmaster, weights -- but i really miss running.

do i need to have surgery on this? can it strenghten on its own?

do you think i can go running again???

This is a complicated issue that should be discussed with an orthpedist who specializes in sports medicine. Sometimes a strong will can overcome. There are a number of instances where physicians gave no hope but the patient applied his will.

In my day job I write about Blood Pressure Treatment and treat those who suffer from blood pressure problems. Low blood pressure is a particular interest and I'm often asked about how to lower cholesterol levels. A healthy heart is becoming a huge focus for many of us nowadays. Improving your blood pressure control and thus the health of your heart and circulation system is really important. My most recent online "adventure" is to start a facility for people to ask me my opinion and to provide high quality health information by answering medical questions online.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also have a special interest in the problem of feeling Tired All the Time and in those who suffer from chronic fatigue or lethargy. This seems to tie in also to skin care issues or skin treatment problems and suggestions. Tiredness and fatigue can lead to major problems for many individuals in modern society and the way that this can affect all areas of general health can be quite invasive in terms of daily life and coping skills.

My work with footballers and athletes leads to a focus on Painful Shoulder conditions and on the problems associated with frozen shoulder or whiplash injuryRotator cuff injury causes problems for many of my patients.

When not working I daydream about my next amazing european vacation trip  My favorite European cities include Paris and Barcelona and my next blog project will be to write about the best way to spend a night in Paris and how to find an apartment in Barcelona. I just love European travel in all its forms.

Cancer treatment

You really do need to see a specialist. If the meniscus or cartilage is torn - and it sounds like it might be from your description - then it wont heal on its own and will need keyhole surgery to fix it.
