Doctors hello, i have a strong complaint to the meniscus because of this i suffer that pain. they suggested that i operte?

If your: orthopedic surgeon recommends operation, I think you should proceed. Get a second opinion if you are unsure. Menisectomy is usually an arhtroscopic surgery, with minimal scarring and disability.
