Hey Nick. I am a doctor and I think you've gotten some pretty good advice so far. Tee up a second opinion, and go see a sports physio in the meantime. There are a lot of structures, not only in the knee joint (tendons, ligaments, bursae, cartilage, bones), but above and below that could be causing your symptoms. Some surgeons can get pretty tunnel-visioned about their work. In the vast majority of cases, young people should expect to be pain-free following a scope and menisectomy.
