Arthroscopy: If you have a meniscal tear and it hasn't improved after a year it probably won't you will then need to undergo an arthroscopic procedure to correct the problem. Then your pain should be improved. If you already had a procedure, then the question is how much of your pain is from arthritis or do you have a new injury.

I had surgery to repair a torn meniscus about a year ago, and my knee still hurts if I am active for too long. Shouldn't it be healed by now? Or is there another problem?

I'm having real trouble with my knee. I've had two surgeries on the same knee. One for ACL and one for Meniscus damage. My knee feels really weak but it's been almost a year and I still get pain and discomfort. I would love some advise.
