I had the same thing a couple of years back. Went to the sports surgeion and he cleaned up the meniscus as well as repaired the tendon and cleaned up the arthritis in the knee. There can be several ways that the miniscus is damaged and it should have appeared on the MRI. The operation is fairly simple, at least in my case. Had the surgery done on a friday morning outpatient, and back to light work on monday. I was doing martial arts in 3 weeks.

I'm sure the docs here can give you the technical words but know this, that will hurt and stay swollen until it's repaired. I put it off for 6 months and it hurt every day.

Good luck
