It's basically a fold in a membrane that surrounds the knee that presses on something or other and causes the same symptoms as a torn meniscus. I was probably born with it but at this point it has swollen enough to cause pain similar to a torn meniscus.
So I have to have surgery next month. It's a day procedure and I'll be on crutches for about 3 days. My doctor says the risks are very low and it only involves two tiny (one-stitch) incisions and a tool about the width of a pencil.
I have to have a stress test first as a precaution. I hate those things. Oh, well.
