"Hello everyone 👋🏼 I have had RA now for 12yrs or so. Back in December 2023 I woke up one morning and couldn’t bare weight on my right knee. The pain traveled to the back of the thigh, hip, groin and down into my calves. I had a MRI and the results said I have a complex Root/Horn meniscus tear. I have never experienced this issue with my knees. I have started physical therapy and it seems to be helping my range of motion but is still painful. I work full time as a Lab Technician and I am trying to hold on to my job. Has anyone experienced anything like this with RA?

oh my goodness that sounds incredibly painful, and challenging! I am sorry to hear that you're dealing with a complex Root/Horn meniscus tear. It's good to hear that the PT has helped your range of motion, but I can hear just how painful it still is. Hopefully some of our community members can let you know if they have experience with this, however, I would also recommend asking your question over on our forums, https://rheumatoidarthritis.net/forums, as it's more likely for more people to see it there. Has your doctor suggested or offered anything to help with pain relief? -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)
