Do you need crutches for a torn meniscus?

Answer 1

yes it is actually very necessary to get crutches because you might hurt your knee even worse by putting weight on it. I would definitely definitely definitely get crutches to prevent further injury :)

Answer 2

Your knee is not stable with a torn meniscus. You can be walking and all of a sudden, the knee can go out. That happened to me and I had surgery to correct the problem. They gave me crutches after the surgery but they weren't really needed.

Answer 3

Yes use them only if your docter says though .

maybe use them only if your waiting to see your doctor and it hurts really badly.

thx bye

I dont know... what do you have?

Answer 4

Only if it is severly hurt or injured. A simple bruise means nothing.
