Hello, Thanks for your query and welcome to Chat Doctor. I am Chat Doctor. You have mentioned meniscal injury in your knee. Meniscus is like a shock absorber in the knee and helps in even distribution of the weight. Any injury to this anatomical structure is bound to produce an Instability in your knee and recurrent s/s of knee effusion and difficulty in waling, locking etc. Normally we advise our patients for intensive knee exercises and other conservative management protocol in case of small tears but if the meniscal tear is a large one, then Arthroscopic Meniscal balancing procedure as advised to avoid these issues and later degenerative changes developing in the joint. I would be able to answer you in a better manner if I have your clinical details, duration of your symptoms and relevant investigations like MRI scan etc. Do not hesitate to get back to me should you need any further information/Thanks & Regards
