6. Thanks for the correction! You are right, Lateral Meniscus and Medial

Meniscus. However, I tore both Menisci. It was five weeks ago. It tok 2 weeks to get an MRI, then I had to track down the Doc to get the reading of results. Now a cyst has developed somewhere inside there. I wonder how long out of commission after the surgery?
