Symptoms
What are the symptoms of a meniscus tear?
Symptoms of a meniscus tear depend on the size and location of the tear. They also depend on your age and the health of your knee.
Symptoms may include things like knee pain, swelling, or stiffness. It may be hard to walk. Your knee may feel unstable, or it may be hard to straighten all the way. Or you may feel like your knee "catches" when you move.
Some people have severe pain and swelling right away when the tear happens. Or they might have less pain and swelling at first but then notice that it gets worse over a few days.
Older people sometimes don't notice when the tear happens. But then they notice symptoms later.
