After 3 or 4 visits to different doctors and an 2 MRIs, in the morning of March 24th, 2011, I was going in for surgery to repair the lateral side of the meniscus in my right knee. The surgery was a method I never heard before, “repair with fibrin clot”. They pulled some of my own blood, made a small clot, opened my knee, inserted the clot and stitched the thing back together. Of course I did some research before going for it, what I didn't know was that this is more effective if you're under 25yo, I was 41yo at that time.
