My wife just returned from an orthopedic seminar yesterday.
I was telling her that since I lost weight , back down to my previous weight t the time of my meniscus tear , the pain has pretty much gone away . But I noticed as my weight bounced up or down , so did the pain in knee over the same period of a year or more.
She confirmed this and told me that exact issue was discussed at length at her seminar . That for every pound extra you carry there is 6:1 ratio of pressure to the knee . Every pound counts with this injury.
Rob might try a little weight reduction, I know I can do more now myself …….like I carried one end of our sleeper sofa all the away around the house and load it in our truck . I wasn’t totally sure the knee was going hold up , but it did . LOL. It was heavier than my momma n law
