In the acute stage of meniscus injury, you should immediately brake, rest, avoid weight bearing, and cannot walk. After the condition of meniscus injury is stabilized, it is possible to walk, walking backwards and forwards, there is no such thing as which one is better. However, because walking backwards has a certain degree of danger, do not advocate walking backwards.
In the acute stage of meniscus injury, mild injuries can be treated conservatively, while severe injuries should be treated surgically by removing or suturing the damaged meniscus.
After the meniscus injury is stabilized, you can walk, but you should avoid too long, avoid climbing stairs and hiking. Walking for a long time will lead to excessive weight bearing on the knee joint, and the original damaged meniscus will be excessively squeezed, which is likely to lead to another meniscus injury and trigger pain. Because walking backwards is dangerous, it is not recommended in case of meniscus injury.
The treatment of meniscus injury should be in accordance with the doctor’s advice, do not go down to the ground too early or the activity time is too long, which will affect the repair of the meniscus.
