I have had several meniscus surgeries. I agree with those who say to wait and see if you improve on your own. MRIs show every little defect, and some of them don’t really need to be fixed. Also, there are some terrific pain patches (non-narcotic) that might really help you. Ask your doctor, because they are prescription-only. Maybe he or she has samples you can try. They relieve inflammation and stiffness. One is called Flector, the other is Lidoderm. If it wasn’t for these patches, I would have had total knee replacement by now! Best of luck.
