I had arthroscopic surgery for the same issue. When the tear folded over, it felt like a knife was shoved into my knee. I watched the video of the surgery a few times. The tear looked like someone had pulled on a cotton ball. They used a very tiny "grinder" to shave off the torn part and fluffy stuff. Saline solution washed it away. I felt like new the next day and walked normally again. I really hope you can get this done soon.

Yeah, the video is awesome isn't it? I thought the surgical tool looked more like a mini tunnel boring machine.
Not to worry, I've had a few of these surgeries before, including a TKR on the other knee.
Thanks for the well-wishes!
