Hi folks,

I've been living in Taiwan for years so I have the NIH. Recently my knee is acting up and will get super painful during runs. As much as I want to deny it, I suspect that I have a meniscus tear 😢.

If that is the case, I don't know if I have the financial means to support the treatment, so I want to ask if there's anyone here with an experience with knee meniscus repair or ACL reconstruction surgery in Taiwan?

Any recommendations for a hospital or doctor? How much did it cost or did you get quoted?

Thank you very much!

I'd say see an orthopedic doctor, and they will assess with imagery if a tear exists or only a strain.

You never know, you might get out with intense physical therapy and avoid the surgery. Earlier the better to start repairs, if thats what the pros determine
