Are you Suffering from Pain in Meniscus?

A meniscus is a part of cartilage that gives a cushion between the femur (thighbone) and tibia (shinbone). In the each knee joint, there are two menisci which can be torn or damaged during activities. The meniscus can be torn and cause pressure or direct contact from a forced rotation or twist during activities. Heavy lifting, sudden turn or pivot or deep squatting can cause meniscus tear injury. Normally, sports person or athletes are at the risk for meniscus tear but it is also quite common in normal people too.
