Experience healing torn meniscus?

Hello Kert- Just a thought I had- although this might depend upon whether the tear is complete in that structure (above you do say a complex radial tear, and whether the connecting structure, tensegrity-wise, has a linkage in that vector or not)..

I might suggest you have a practitioner of the Feldenkrais Method, and/or a Body Mind Centering practitioner (perhaps a session with either- depending upon if they are nearby your area, and their skill level)

– the idea of “movement” of the joint and all the connective tissue, ideally the TaiChi/NeiGung way of moving so that foot-ankle movement is related to movement all the way up and through the leg and into and through the torso.. a continous connection (vs “weakest link the the chain” that results not only in tears and inflamation.. but if movement- in connection- within the range, that movement itself: stimulates fluid exchange (healthy in, clogged flow out), as well as activates involved nerves (which doesn’t just sense and trigger movement, but such nervestim provides actual bio-electrical stim… nudging back to growth

Note Moshe Feldenkrais actually had knee damage severe enough to require two canes, after years of “football’/soccer… structural surgery was recommended.. and yet per his discoveries (developed into a system) he regained full use, supporting the body’s own healing process.. (although like many “founders” his development seems in some cases to have become overly standardized- and applied by rote in some, but when one has the experience to contact and communicate a new way of moving and integrating to the other…

This can be done by/through Chinese Taoist “water method” _Int’l practice_ but there is a bit of chicken&egg, as to create healing affect one needs to move in that integrated “Dragon-Body manner” and yet to develop that- one needs to get a feel for it.. and so on..

---

so indirectly- rather than directly addressing either of the two options you mention-I dont know what your thoughts about trying those methods- assuming you find a practitioner that is can communicate-contact via a light-touch and yet still a strong shift can be noticed in a single session.

another suggestion- related to the above, I don’t know how close you might be to Cary, NC… and.or he might have other suggestions as well- there is an instructor Jason Quin, listed in Cert-instructs on this site: not only in state you list above, but I know in the past he worked with such ChiGungTuiNa type interaction, as well as injury issues.. a thought

best of luck to you
