My knees were operated on in 2013 for torn meniscus and scoped etc. now same knee has a torn meniscus again. I didnt want another surgery but I read that torn meniscus can heal. I am almost 50. My doc said meniscus dont heal in people my age, just younger. and that at some point would need a knee repacemtn. in the mean time I just got a series of synvisc injections but knees still hurt.

What is the oldest youve known someone being who was able to get over a torn meniscus?
