Torn Meniscus-Inflam: If the torn meniscus is causing irritation and inflamation, the knee may become swollen depending on your physical weight bearing activities. A week off may be helpful, but once you're back on your feet again, and twisting or strain of the knee and mensicus can cause pain and swelling once again.
