Limped due to a torn meniscus since age 12 have brace that helps with pain but still cant walk without limp i did physical therapy but it didn't help?

Torn meniscus: Consider a Stem Cell and PRP injection into the knee - this should help. This may be a great option due to your age prior to having any surgery.
