Meniscus Tear (Torn Meniscus)

Anne Mullin

I am a runner. Running makes me happy! I love to run races — from 5Ks to marathons. Running is part of my daily routine — that is until I started having pain and tightness in my left knee. I tried to ignore it and run through it thinking it would go away. That didn’t work so I went to see Dr. McCarthy and after her examination and an MRI, she confirmed that I had a torn meniscus.

We discussed the various options and although at first I was hesitant to have the surgery, I am so glad I did! The surgery went well, I followed up with physical therapy and am happy to say that a few months later I am back running and racing again. I just completed a half marathon and I am happy to say that I ran pain-free! Thank you Dr. McCarthy and everyone at HSS who helped me get back in the game!
