Damage: You have torn loose the cartilage from its original point of attachment, and it will interfere with normal joint function, causing increasing damage over time. See an orthopedist to discuss treatment options - likely a knee scope.

Knee Medial Meniscus: This is a painful condition of a ligament that helps stabilize your knee. It signifies a tear or stretching of the ligament, that may be due to arthritis or trauma. Usually, laparoscopic surgery and repair is curative if "watchful waiting" is unsuccessful.
