Did the doctor apecifically say you'll need knee surgery or did he say you'll need an arthroscopy?
I had an arthroscopy eight years ago.I had a torn meniscus in my left knee.On July 9th I had shooting pains in the same knee.The pain has since subsided.I have an appoitment with the orthopedist on Friday July 20th.I'm worried that I might need another arthroscopy operation.
