Thank again for you help.

I've been following your suggestions regarding one arm overhead presses. I'm up to doing several sets of 10 a day....pretty much each time I think of it. They aren't painful for me to do expect maybe the first 1 or 2 reps. I am still confused about to do the lateral raises the way you suggested. I'm also doing rotator cuff 90 degrees external rotations with no added weight. It takes a few reps before I get to the full vertical position (or top of the movement). I started these because it seems as if when my elbow is parallel to my shoulder is my weakest position with the most pain. Happens when either putting something into or taking it out of the microwave. It is an aggressive approach to the problem.

My shoulder still hurts much of the time, but mostly the late night and early morning hours before I get up. I suppose this is because there is nothing to distract me from it. I took an Aleve this morning when I got up to pee and then went back to bed for another half hour.

At the moment, my shoulder and arm aren't bothering me at all. My suspicion is that it is a pinched nerve because of the fact that sometimes the pain runs all the way down my arm.   

I did not suggest doing lateral raises or those other movements.  That was someone else.

I recommend only doing the 1 arm presses at this point.

Stick with it for at least 3 months before adding anything else.

Once you work up to several sets then do the exercise only 3 times per week or every other day at the most.

Whew, that's a relief. Not sure who it was, but it may not have been a good suggestion, I tried doing lateral raises last night and the pain was intense so I discontinued doing them.

You are doing legs chest legs and back and biceps and triceps all the same day? No warm up set before a 5 rep bench? And the fuck is a plate pinch?

Backward treadmill walking or running seems impossible to me. I have issues with balance when walking or running forwards on the treadmill. Never-the-less, I am interested in finding out if I can do it at all. I might give it a try next time I go to the gym. I'll make sure there a plenty of people around to pick me up should I fall....which seems pretty likely.  :)

Hey Bhank!

I do about 3-4 warmup sets before the bench work sets.  Likewise the squats.

Plate pinch is when you pinch plates together for grip.

The treadmill is off, not running, when you do it.

Really? I read a little about how to do backward treadmill walking and it was suggested you set the speed very low and raise the incline high.

I do that sometimes.

Try it without it running like the kneesovertoesguy says.  Much safer and just as good if not better.

Not worth getting hurt.

That is definitely what I will do. Like I said, my sense of balance is off......didn't used to be. It could be something that happens with age. When I fell while weeding the rock garden awhile back, I lost my footing. That never would have happened when I was in my 30's and 40's. Now I seem to lose my balance on a regular basis. Fortunately, most of the time I recover it avoiding a fall.

Here's something that is supposed to improve your balance.

Sounds a bit wacky but it's is recommended.

As you walk forward at a normal pace, do a 360 spin, resume walking, do a 360 in the opposite direction.

Do this a few times when you walk.  It's said to improve your balance by affecting the inner ear where balance comes from.

I think I will need a guide rope to pull this trick off. I probably should not have donated my wife's walker to the senior center. Looks like I might need one.  ;D

Guess anything is worth a try. Regrowing meniscus is complicated because there are so many factors which make that impossible or possible depending on the circumstances. If it has been completely removed, it can be replace with donor meniscus. Overall, once it is gone it is gone. I had arthroscopic surgery for a torn meniscus many years ago. Because such a small amount of tissue was removed (dime sized) holes were punched into the bone (microfracturing) to facilitate the growth of new tissue which isn't much like meniscus cartilage.

Unfortunately, I was supposed put no weight on that knee for a month. The same day I had the surgery, my wife fell and I had to help her up. The result was that I put weight on that knee. This probably explains why it has never felt great since that time. There was also a lot of nerve damage, which caused neuritis that extended all the way down into my foot. For a very long time afterwards, it would flare up and my right foot would go completely numb. When it did, I could barely take another step. It is still not normal, but it is a lot better.

Age definitely factors into regrowing meniscus.

After age 45 or so it becomes more and more difficult.

Bhank may still be able to do it.

Blood into a joint can work wonders.  The problem with the knee joint is little blood flow.

In any event, we sometimes should give things a shot and see if they work.

Walking backwards is one such method. 

You can pick up a used treadmill for free.  It doesn't even have to work.

Everything I read suggests that you cannot successfully regrow your meniscus regardless of age. The meniscus does have the capability to repair and regenerate through stem cell therapy. But, stem cell therapy is trying to patch a hole while the whole knee is crumbling around it. The procedure I had grows cushioning for the knee but it is not new meniscus cartilage.
