Menisci poor healing: Menisci rarely heal in adults once they are torn. They have poor blood supply and frequently require surgery to "heal". Look up arthroscopic partial meniscectomy. Continue exercises and go see an orthopedic surgeon.

PT as tolerated: Pt can exacerbate the pain from a meniscal tear. If it does so, you need to be re-evaluated by your orthopedic surgeon as to whether you are a candidate for arthroscopic surgery. Also pt is as tolerated so some of the exercises you may not be ready this should be part ofte discussion you have with your doc.

Clicking or catching: If you have painful clicking or catching of the knee most likely you will benefit from an arthroscopy. Discuss with an orthopedic surgeon before you continue pt or engage on strenuous physical activity and cause more damage.
