Swelling
Swelling is a common sign of injury, including a torn meniscus. When this issue occurs, the body normally reacts by activating the immune system to prevent foreign elements from attacking. As a result, it might lead to a buildup of fluids or inflammation around the affected knee. The swollen area tends to become worse after a few days and makes you feel stiff. Applying ice and heat therapy can be a simple way to relieve the symptom. If it does not go away or worsens over time, make sure to visit the doctor to seek proper treatments. [3]
