Yes. Many here have probably had meniscectomies.
The stuff you wear out or break while you were younger will hurt more as you get older. I didn't believe it either till it happened. The body is designed to last for normal wear and tear for about 40 years. Good physical conditioning will help it last longer and in better shape, but wear on a joint is damage. The muscles may get stronger, but the structure of the joints do not.
As you can do less PT, you have to change your eating habits or you will gain weight, which exacerbates the physical injuries and damage. Getting older beats the alternatives though.
Good luck, and take it easy.TR

I have been fortunate; I think my injuries are no way as bad as others so I will just have to suck it up and deal with it. Having said that, I do go for reflexology once a month and that helps quite a bit..
