What are the most common symptoms of a meniscus tear?
Many adults have a tear and do not even know it. These are typically degenerative or attritional tears. Painful tears in adults are usually larger “flap” tears. These tears typically will cause pain with kneeling, squatting, pivoting, or going down stairs. Occasionally they will even hurt at night when you roll over in bed.
