What Torn Meniscus Cause The Pain In The Knee?
Hi, I am 57 & stockly built but healthy.I heard a pop noise in back of my knee 3 weeks ago & fell to the ground.Used ice & heat & rest.Family doctor said it is probably torn meniscus on inner knee.Had an injection which lasted for 5 days.Now I am back to the pain when I walk.I am scheduled to see a orthopedic next week.I have no insurance so I am leaning toward a scope job without mri.What do you think?

I think it is better to be confirmed by MRI before going for arthroscopy because arthroscopy is a surgical procedure.
