INNER KNEE PAIN AFTER MENISCUS SURGERY

Inner knee pain after meniscus surgery is very common even months later.

And it often causes confusion:
“If the meniscus is fixed, why does the inside of my knee still hurt?”

The answer is usually not damage.
It’s how load is being controlled.


➡️ What’s Actually Happening

After meniscus surgery, people naturally protect the knee sometimes without realizing it.

The hip and thigh muscles may not fully support the knee during daily movements.
As a result, the inner knee ends up absorbing more load than it should.

At the same time, the nervous system remains cautious around the surgical area.
Even normal movement can feel threatening if the knee hasn’t relearned stability.

This combination often shows up as inner knee discomfort.


➡️ Why This Exercise Helps

The single-leg bridge trains the knee indirectly in a safer, controlled position.

The hip and glute muscles take more responsibility
The thigh muscles help guide knee alignment
The knee learns to stay steady without bearing full body weight

By bending and straightening the knee while the hips are lifted, you retrain control without compressing the joint.


➡️ Why Alignment Matters

Letting the knee drift or wobble increases stress on the inner side.

Keeping it steady teaches:
Better muscle coordination
Improved joint support
Reduced protective tension

This builds trust in the knee again especially after surgery.


➡️ How to Use This Exercise
Keep hips level
Move the knee slowly
Stay aligned and controlled
Stop before fatigue or pain

6–8 controlled repetitions per side are enough.
