Guest guest Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Hi Bee, I got my MRI today and just got the results back. They didn't find a meniscus tear but they found meniscus abnormalities/damage but again not necessarily a tear. Because of that they don't think I'll need surgery. My question is...do you think the pain I'm having could be toxins? I guess I'm just frustrated because I almost wanted the surgery to fix the injury so the pain would go away. Now I don't know what to do. They want to give me a cortisone shot which I won't do...otherwise I may try physical therapy but just not sure if that would be helpful for cartilage pain. Any thoughts? I have never had a knee injury in the past so I know it's not retracing. I've had this pain for over 2 months. My left knee hurts also but just not as bad. I try to stay off of it but still walk 30min each day (about 2.5 miles) just to help my body detox. Do you think I'm causing my body more stress by walking on it? Anyway...just wanted to get your thoughts as I don't know what to do now. Thanks for all your help as always! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a doctor so I do not know what meniscus is. In future please explain it in layman's terms or provide a simple definition.

Do you think I'm causing my body more stress by walking on it? +++I think it is caused by toxins, so staying off it won't help since some movement helps mobilize the toxins so your body can get rid of them. Also do other things that help your body detoxify: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/detox.php But as always, it is very important to follow the program carefully, and not cheat.

It's the inside of my knee that hurts. ###Each knee joint has two crescent-shaped cartilage menisci. These lie on the medial (inside) and lateral (outside) of the upper surface of the tibia (shin) bone. They are essential components of the knee, acting as shock absorbers as well as allowing for the proper interaction and weight distribution between the tibia and the femur (thigh bone). As a result, injury to either meniscus can lead to critical impairment of the knee itself. +++I think it is caused by toxins, so staying off it won't help since some movement helps mobilize the toxins so your body can get rid of them.

But as always, it is very important to follow the program carefully, and not cheat. ###I haven't cheated at all recently and take all my supplements which I know is helping.
