Can someone with a torn cartalige in the knee ever run again?

I tore the cartalige in my knee 6 months ago and I still can not go down stairs or run.
Answer:
i sure hope so

---

you need to have surgery to repare it then rehab/pt to get you back up to speed.

---

Yes you can. Eventually it should heal or it may require surgery, and you should be able to run again.

possibly with meds an tylnol and a special $300 knee brace happened to my gramps thars what he did

---

yup once your fully rehabilitated you can run again. Recovery time is usually one to two years and the physical therapist will likely require you to use a special brace to use during exercise. Warning: don't overexert yourself! Your knee will never be able to reach the potential it had before your injury and is markedly more delicate so don't be planning on a lot of full tackle football once you do recover.
