Absolutely! I'll share your pain )

Okay, so call me a dumbo, but today I gardened hard, made sure I got
on my knee with all my body weight several times on concrete, and
jiggled my knee around a lot so when I get my MRI tomorrow morning it
will be at its worst. I cannot believe moderate arthritis is causing
this excruciating pain.

My miniscus is torn, and I think now a hunk tore off completely and is
rattling around in there, catching on my joint now and then as I wince
with pain. If this is only arthritis, I have much more respect for
people with rheumatoid...this is only osteo.

Feh.

Yes they do do athroscopic surgery for a torn miniscus. I had that several
years ago and just had a total knee replacement 2 years ago. Much better and
no pain at all now.
