I am a walking para. L1 Burst, S1 para complete. For several months I have been having knee pain in left knee. Since October is has been increasing and finally had a doctor appointment today. When I walk, the weakness in my legs is causing my instep of the left foot to rotate inward putting pressure on the inside of my left knee. Doctor examined today and thinks I have a medical meniscus tear. He is sending me to a orthopedic specialist to be evaluated further. Have any walking paras had issues with their knees from the way they are forced to walk due to weakness in legs? If so what treatment has helped. I really don't want surgery if it can be helped, but I don't want any more damage either from walking differently. Are there certain questions I should ask and how do I know they are taking my entire situation into consideration? I need them to realize that this is not just a knee. This is going to effect everything from my back, hips, si joints, knees, legs, ankles, mobility, etc. I don't want to end up with someone who only looks at the knee and not the entire picture of what is going on. Any info would be great. Thanks.
Walking Para, looking at left medial meniscus tear, what options?
