Suggest that you exercise
Suggest that you exercise regularly and do yoga (get doctor advice - on which asanas you can start with). This will help build muscle and help keep the joints in better health.
In meniscal tear surgeries,
In meniscal tear surgeries, part or entire meniscus which is cartilage is removed. This cartilage loss is now known to be detrimental for the knee joint. Studies have shown that people with meniscal surgeries have a higher risk for developing arthritis within a year.
