In reply to that meniscus, I have had a meniscus transplant done 5 years ago and i think once you have knee trouble it doesnt go away but it did seem to help the pain some but because i had one knee down my once good knee took all the wear and tear from the bad one and now its hurting like heck and i have to have it fixed now. I think with Knee and Back trouble once you have them your stuck with them.....
