No, but I've got a small meniscus flap from when I partially tore my ACL.
My knee surgeon advised me to crack on with life and see how things go. His reasoning was that it's always better to avoid having your knee inflated etc if at all possible. After about six months the flap stuck down and hasn't bothered me since.
Obvs YMMV!

Finally had an MRI for fairly long term knee pain. Turns out that its a very minor meniscus tear, but its a "flap" that can stay in place or occasionally rub against the knee lining.
Doc reckons carry on as is while its not causing problems, then give him a call for a key-hole op to remove the offending portion of meniscus if/when my patience runs out.
Anyone had key-hole surgery to remove a bit of meniscus and can talk to what recovery looks like? Doc reckoned a couple of weeks if alls well, 4 weeks normal, 6 weeks if you're unlucky before back to full health
