What Meniscus Tear Protocols Were You Given?

A sports med doc recently diagnosed a medial meniscus tear. I felt like I was rushed through the appointment, was not given exercises or much advice beyond 1) ice it every night and 2) do 30-45 minute moderate rides on my bike trainer. Also got a prescription for a topical anti-inflammatory.

What did your doc tell you? Were you given leg/glute strengthening exercises? Were you told to restrict exercise intensity? Let pain be your guide? Get the swelling down?

Did you successfully use KOT to rehab your issue? I have a copy of Knee Ability Zero but haven’t begun exercises.
