Can i go to work with a possible torn meniscus? it's a restaurant so i have to be on my feet. the pain is mild and i can walk pretty well.

Yes: If pain is mild and walking causes no discomfort, standing is permissible. Try to take breaks often and elevate your leg if possible. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
