My doctor determined that I have a torn meniscus on my knee. I choose not to have surgery to repair or remove the damaged cartilage since the pain appeared not as bad as initially found. I now have pain in my foot. In your opinion is this caused by the torn meniscus or a separate problem?
Dear Patient, the relation of pain of the meniscus to the foot cannot be direct, but indirect cause cannot be ruled out, it can so happen that you can walk in unnatural way to avert the pain of the torn meniscus, to regularly strain your ankle, and this can cause it to start paining. I feel you should see your doctor and get examined to see if the cause is the same of different. Hope that helps understand your problemThanks you
