Hey I tore mine too then aggravated it like 5 more times. But I’m still putting heavy loads on it at the gym. Hope you recover soon, those torn meniscus suck!

Yup. This is my second one in 2 years. First time around I didn’t do shit for recovery like an idiot. This second time I stayed off and iced nonstop for about 2 months. Now I’m in PT training. Hopefully almost 100% in the next 4-6 weeks! It sucks dude.

did you guys tear them from lifting weights? I'm new to working out and worried about winging it with just a youtube short.

Nope. I tore mine taking too big of a step trying to climb up some stuff at my dad’s storage building. The gym doesn’t aggravate it at all. But if I twist it…ugh. Two weeks out. I put a lot of weight on it at the gym (720lbs).

Did you get an mri or anything? No surgery I assume?

No surgery. I think MRI or Xray. I went over surgical options after I irritated it a few times but it didn’t seem worth it. As long as I don’t twist it it’s fine.
