Dang Hop. Is that the squeaking noise I heard last time we fished together? How do you put grease on that or do you use WD40?

Good knee had meniscus removal in Aug 2019. Bad knee two total reconstructions in 85 and 86 and three other surgeries since. Await knee replacement. Can't get a partial. Not looking forward to it. Did the ultimate wrong thing and youtube the procedure. Very violent surgery..

OMG...i read the comments. lol

get an MRI. If it's a torn meniscus and that's all, I had outpatient surgery and literally walked out of the hospital - on my right knee.
On my left knee, I "knew" I had a torn meniscus and then I also had some (found on the MRI and in surgery) floating cartilage, some old Osgood Schlatter which they removed the "tumor" some arthritis which they removed and I still walked out of the hospital. I'm 48 years old and overweight. I used crutches the day of the surgery. Scaled down to 1 crutch later in the afternoon and was walking that evening.Was walking normally the next day.

if it's just a torn meniscus, they'll do outpatient arthroscopic surgery. Two holes in either side of your knee cap. They'll shave down the "bad" part of the meniscus and send you home. You'll take some pain meds just for for fun for a couple of days and you'll be kicking arse like normal after that

Obviously, I have a good ortho recommendation if you need one. LOL

Guess a torn meniscus is better than no meniscus left
Total replacement in 4 weeks. Scared chitless.
