Needless to say, after three surgeries, I don't have a lot of lateral meniscus left, and my knee is in pretty bad shape. I'm glad to see that at least for now, you're able to avoid surgery. That would have been my advice. From my experience, the knee is never the same after surgery. If the injury is so severe that there are no other options, then obviously the surgery is the better option, but I'm glad that you're trying to let it heal to the extent possible without surgery.

Thanks Seth. I'm advised it can never heal. Hopefully, it simply won't bother me much. If it does, then we scope. Time will tell.
