Rob,
How torn was your meniscus? I just had surgery to clean up mine, but since it is a total tear they did not sew it up.
I am relegated to biking for now and my distance running days may be over.

Hey Bill. So about 2 years ago I had the same thing in my right knee and had it repaired. The surgery went great and I have no problem with my right knee now. Shortly after that, I did the same thing to my left knee which the MRI confirmed. The doctor said it basically looked the same as the right knee tear he fixed. But then the left knee just stopped bothering me and so I have left it alone. Doctor said that is actually common as the meniscus is quite slippery and sometimes even a torn one can work itself into a position where it's not casing pain. But now my pain is back and I'm not sure what to do. Hoping to avoid surgery though as the recovery from the last one was quite a bit longer than I expected.

Sorry to hear about that. Maybe someday they will invent a synthetic meniscus replacement and you'll be back at it!
