[QUOTE="horror_tang:264745"]shatteredliz said:[QUOTE]So, I guess now it's not so minor. The tear was all the was through my cartilidge, so they had to take out the whole meniscus on the outside of my left knee. Now, my options are, do nothing, and I'll need a total knee replacement in 20 years, or do this major surgery that one doctor at Beth Isreal does, and have them make me a new meniscus. Either way, I can't run anymore, and I love running... This blows![/QUOTE] Get the Carticel surgery done. I am having both knees done in the near future (one at a time of course). If there is not enough cartilage left in the knee it is not worth getting done, but if there is enough left your knee will be as good as new. I was actually told my knees will end up healthier than they have ever been. Furthermore, you will be able to take up running again (after the long rehab). Three months of no weight bearing on the joint, with passive motion eight hours a day. Your knee will be as good as new in 18 months. I am fully for surgery and believe it is nothing to be afraid of. I had neck surgery in 2001, a diskectomy with fusion and hardware. I am getting all the ligaments and tendons cut in my shoulder, tightened and reattached to the bone in several weeks. Surgery is fun and even better when you can be awake for it. Did you get to watch your arthroscopic surgery? It looks so cool to see the inside of your knee. Do it and feel better. [/QUOTE]
