Medial meniscus tear. No surgery. Next steps?

Insurance will most likely refuse an MRI and surgery according to my doctor. Just got referral for PT.

Last Saturday I was doing leg extensions. 3rd set. Already very warmed up. Extremely loud very painful pop in my left knee. Got up sat down. Extreme pain for about 5 minutes. Limped to my car. 30 min later I could walk again but hurt a lot to fully extend my knee and bend it

It’s now Wednesday morning. This morning i did my elliptical (first time since injury) after getting the ok from the doctor. Doctor did an examination yesterday and is almost positive it is a medial meniscus tear. There was no swelling at the time of injury or anytime after. X-rays look good.

If still hurts to fully extend my knee and to fully bend it, feels like there is something inside the knee that is making it not want to fully extend or bend. Pain on the inside of the knee when walking. Feels a lot better to not fully extend my leg when walking.

I have a bodybuilding show in 18 weeks. What are the next steps? Is there any chance i could get back to regular training anytime soon? Thanks guys!

Everybody says niche down. I did this for 8 months on another account and had 30k likes 400 followers after posting multiple times a day for 8 months. I’ve had this account here for 2 months or so.

I am a bodybuilding coach and primarily use TikTok for clients but every fitness post I make flops terribly but random stuff I post does very well. I have 2 videos that have 1M+ views

Why is this? How do I change this?

Hey bros. Wanted to share my best oversized fitting shirts since it took me so long to find shirts that I like the fit of. These are relatively cheap too so you have more money for ladyboys.

  1. Duluth Trading Company
  2. Carhartt (I prefer regular fit)
  3. Shaka Wear

Any of you guys use TikTok for finding clients? I have some buddies who have found great success finding clients that way but I can never seem to find success at it. What’s the trick? Seems like every time I post a video about random stuff, it blows up, however every video about fitness/bodybuilding I post flops

Hey guys I am a bodybuilder and I wore my weightlifting belt during my whole session today which is something I typically don’t do. I perform primarily machine based movements so nothing that puts a significant amount of strain on my stomach/core.

Anyways, I went to go pee, when pulling the front of my pants down I snagged the skin below my belly button and it created a severe burn sensation that lasted for a few seconds.

After my session when practicing my posing I noticed right below my belly button, it was poking out a bit. Im not sure if this is inflammation/irritation but I am concerned.

As you can see the area right below my belly button is a slightly lighter color than the skin around it
