A lifetime of activity takes it’s toll. If it is a meniscus, removing torn cartilage will give relief. It is a simple procedure. The thing is removing the torn parts results in less cartilage to protect the joint from wear and tear. I had the procedure in 2005. In 2020 I needed a hip replacement most likely due to the fact my knee and leg were no longer in alignment. Getting old ain’t for pu$$ies.
