I had a good orthopedic doc recommend meniscus removal about 6 years ago when I created a tear by working in a squatting position for extended periods of time (diagnosed by MRI). I decided I’d think about it, and noticed that the knee pain was slowly improving, so I continued to postpone it. Basically it stopped bothering me (it was only pain, not “locking up”.

Since then, more recently, I’ve had some mild aching at night. Possibly that is related to less physical activity and some weight gain, and possibly just advancing age.

I think a lot of this is individual and depends on the nature of the damage, which is infinitely variable. Good luck.
