Appt. with Orthopedic Surgeon today

Finally went to an Orthopedic doctor today to see what was really going on with the pain I have been having in my left knee. According to Dr. he wouldnt exactly say I have a tear in my meniscus but he called it fraying. Doing a scope at this point isnt necessary so he suggested ibuprofen for inflammation. I also made sure I didnt need to change my workout routine...and he said to definitely go by how my knee feels and that maybe riding my recumbent bike would be a better option. Elliptical would be better....but dont have one of those (yet). So I am going to press on and see how things go.
