Dealing with Chronic Knee Pain: Seeking Advice

Have you done physical therapy? That's the only thing that has helped me stave off surgeries. But eventually, it gets to be time. It sounds like it might be there for you. When I have daily pain limiting my movement no matter what else I do, that's when I know it may be time.

I had MPFL reconstruction twice and both failed after a few years. I know that’s not your meniscus, but I would take into consideration how severe your dislocations are. i was dislocation 10-20 times a day. if you have less severe dislocations, i’ve heard it is more successful

I have very messed up knees, and our situations sound similar. Ask me questions. I did surgery because I popped my right knee acl a little and my meniscus. 1) What have your doctors who have an eds background said to you? 2) I'm getting fitted with orthotics soon, and the suggestions from them have already helped so much! 3) My most recent surgery only helped for 2 years :,) but you may have a different outcome.

My mom has a torn meniscus and is getting surgery. It's supposed to be very minor with just pinholes. Doctor said she would kn a stationary bike 2 days post op. With EDS it might be longer for you, but shouldn't be bad
