Ask the surgeon for a local so you can watch! I did and he said no. Apparently when they scope it they like to wrap you leg around a pole to spread the joint apart. If you are awake and watching there is this tendency to want to fight the Dr. from doing such horrendous things to your knee.
Maybe you will be lucky and it's not torn cartilage but a really bad sprain, all they'll have to do is insert this big old 50cc syringe with an nice wide bore needle and suck the juices out! I had that done too, many times.
Here's hoping for the worse tomorrow!
