Finally. After watching at least a dozen videos trying to determine if I have a torn meniscus or ACL, this video, with three simple tests, definitely confirmed it's a meniscus tear. I never had any swelling or clicking/popping sounds as mentioned in other videos and I never was pressing hard enough as mentioned in this videio to feel any pain. I can do body weight squats w/o hardly any pain but going up, and especially down, stairs is painful and the duck walk is impossible for me to do. Now, the question is: What can I do about it?

Thankyou professor and Please give the remedies and solutions for MCL tear to heal at the earliest.

Thank you for these great videos. However, being an active athlete in my 70's, with PF partial knee replacements, I can't do something like the duck walk without pain on my best days (and have been told by my surgeon not to try such things). Perhaps some contraindications would help for us older ones.

Nice sir i love this channel salute doctor

Thank you for the informative video. This has helped greatly. I injured my knee playing basketball @ 18 years of age. I am now 38. And, I am still having issues

I was just a bit suspicious but after kneeling down to do the "duck walk" test, I got extreme knee pain whole day long. I think you just gave me meniscus damage. Thank you... My doctor did warn me not to kneel down like that but I trusted you.. Damn it.........

Thank you Professor, please is it possible to get the English version of the Book ? Thanks

Amazing video, with this i could diagnose myself that the issue is with menuscus. So i am assuming rest should heal it

I had a knee injury few years ago playing basketball. Did all tree tests just now and only the second test hurts. However three days ago all three tests were painful and I have been resting the knee since (for past few days). Since the injury, knee pain comes back every now and then, depending on activities I make. I was able to run some time after the injury, however lately running has been painfull. What shall I make of it?
