need help understanding why i need another meniscectomy within 6months

Hello I had medial meniscus surgery in march  I did aqua therapy for about 3months with a few visits of land therapy I am 43 yrs old never had any problems prior to the slip and fall which caused my torn meniscus. So I had long recovery with not much progress then my doctor felt I should have another mri I got the results and they say I have another tear in the meniscus. Can you tear you're meniscus while doing therapy.

Adding to the Dr's comments:
In addition to just removing the disk, they can also replace it. The newer replacement disks are much better and should last permanently.
Also, there are multiple possibilities for the tear. Just as the doc stated, plus some others. The initial tear repair could have added more stress to a weakened part of your disk, which then finished tearing when addition stress was added to it.

Hi!
There are two possibilities. Even after surgery, the white part of medial meniscus tear will not heal. The other possibility is that another tear appeared. It could also be improper repair of the old tear. Please discuss all these possibilities with your specialist.  You may need a surgery to remove the meniscus. Take care!
