Menisectomy is the surgery of meniscus tear a knee injur in important to heal the body. But only if its most necessary.

Hello Everyone,

I have recently been told that I need to have Meniscus Surgery on my right knee. The MRI findings indicate meniscal tear on posterior horn, joint effusion, some signs of mild chondromalacia and quadriceps tendinopathy. Unfortunately, I am also experiencing pain in the left knee and x rays indicate patello femoral syndrome. The pain started in both knees anteriorly and then in the right knee medial pain developed which is severe. I feel that pain when I sleep.

My question is should I really have the surgery or try physical therapy. The doctor immediately said surgery and I really don't like the guy, he seems very cold and condescending, his credentials seem okay though, Joseph Bellapianta (if anyone knows him).

I have been back and forth on this issue, even saying that I wanted to cancel but then the knee really started hurting worse and I just want the pain to go away. It's driving me nuts lol. Thanks in advance for any suggestions and for reading.
