Played badminton till 2 years ago, when knee swollen after game.<br />Went to KLSMC, consulted Dr Tan ( not Dr Saw or Dr Tay). <br /><br />Diagnosis was torn meniscus and damaged cartilage. I asked him how severe, he said category 3. Luckily no need surgery. Just physio, supplement and hyaluronic injection. Dr said shouldn&#39;t play badminton or go hiking anymore and avoid stairs if possible. First 9 months I couldn&#39;t sit cross legged (maybe due to knee mechanism problem) but now ok. After doing physio for a while, I felt fine and good for normal function like walking. However, I could no longer do squat hold or squat jump without feeling pain afterwards...which would last 5 min or so. I tested and tried jogging on treadmill, next day a little sore but nothing so severe. <br /><br />Had tried physio, supplement (Projoin, Excel product), acupuncture, and injection (now maybe once a year). Only surgery or stem cell haven&#39;t tried. Now i had stopped all supplements and physio occasionally only as condition never improve but doesnt get worse also.<br /><br />Can&#39;t get back to old life. <br />Do you guys have any suggestion? <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> Phyarc Health &amp; Fitness Thu, 13 May 2021 16:44:46 +0800
