Robert I believe I am very well qualified in terms of experience when it comes to knee surgery/injuries. However when I give you this advice consider I am a bit younger then you at 37. Furthermore I am not sure of your activity level so keep that in mind also. I was doing a lot of mixed martial art training at the time of injury and was in great shape before my surgery.
A medial meniscus tear will never heal on its own and the constant impingement of your joint has and will throw off the alignment of your hips, knee, back, neck, etc.... I had a medial menisectomy about four years ago and it has turned out great. I tore my meniscus and let it go for two years and it got bad. My surgeon went in, trimmed the dead mensicus, and cleaned out all the arthritis damage while he was in there. You know what? I still work out five days a week, do a lot of work on the ranch, and it was the smartest thing I could have done. Most horror stories from knee surgeries are because guys do NOT follow the proper rehab procedures and either push themselves too quick or not quick or vigorous enough. The surgery is cake and the recovery is a bit painful but I'm sure you can gut it. In about two weeks I was walking laps around my ranch, icing, and elevating the injury. With this surgery you MUST baby it the first week but then start pushing it flexibility wise after that. If not you will lose flexibility and get scar tissue.
So, with that said do the surgery and your knee, back, feet, and overall body will thank you later.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
