B,

Find a GOOD sports med orthopedist and have a thorough functional knee exam. He’ll likely want an MRI of your knee as a recurrent me is also tear is a real possibility to rule out.

BTW, although knee replacement is not a first line therapeutic option, when it’s needed and done by a HIGH-VOLUME joint replacement orthopedic surgeon and TEAM, results are very good and durable. Rehab is a lot of work starting before surgery, and you’ll hear horror stories, but when surgery is done well, as in life in general, it’s back to your everyday activities.

Hope you get good news and can heal on your own.
