Posted October 21, 2016 · Report post Several years after having a meniscus operation to my right knee, I still experienced severe pain. After several months of physical therapy, 1) I learned a number of exercises to strengthen my right knee/leg and 2) I experienced a gradual lessening of pain. In fact, the periodic but severe pain in the back of the knee has disappeared. So, in brief, new strengthening lessons learned and pain diminished significantly-at times, no pain is evident. Thank you! Grant H. October 14, 2016 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
