I tore my lateral meniscus in my left knee back in February 2013. This injury stopped me from putting any weight on my left leg. I couldn’t even lie down on left side because just the weight on my leg pressed the meniscus against the mattress or couch, which in turn caused excruciating pain. I could only lie down on my right side. The pain also kept me up through most of the night. Back in the mid 90’s I torn my right medial meniscus. This was the first time I had met Dr. Bennett and he fixed my right knee. To this day my right knee is in perfect shape. When the MRI showed that had torn my lateral meniscus I knew I had to make an appointment with Dr. Bennett. He is the only doctor I trust with my orthopedic concerns. When I saw Dr. Bennett concerning my lateral meniscus tear he suggested I go with PRP injections. I didn’t know anything about this treatment. He explained this treatment very thoroughly with me. He also explained to me all my other options. When he said the PRP would be my best option, I decided to go with the PRP injection treatment. I took two shots. The first shot was extremely painful. Dr. Bennett told me to use a walking cane. For the first five days was very painful. After that the I noticed the pain started to decrease. I went back for a second shot. This shot was not as painful. I also experienced further reduction in pain. Shortly, after the second shot I started experiencing pain free days for the 1st time. Followed by couple of days with just minor pain. The days with minor pain was very brief. It only lasted for a minute. The blocks of days that were pain free lasted longer over time during the treatment, and the days where I experienced minor pain became shorter and shorter. I was also walking around without the walking cane at this point. The pain went down from a minute to just a few seconds. After the end of the second treatment I am now practically pain free. The PRP injections done by Dr. Bennett made a huge difference in my life. I went from barely being able to walk and suffering non-stop excruciating pain 24/7 to being practically pain free. I walk around without pain and I am now riding the bike at the gym to restrengthen my legs. I can ride the bike pain free as well. I can also work at my job carrying 25 pounds of equipment all day without any pain. Words cannot express how thankful I am to Dr. Bennett for getting my knee back to normal. I strongly recommend anyone with orthopedic concerns to see Dr. Bennett. If he suggests PRP injections, I strongly recommend you try this treatment.
