Hi
Hope this message finds you in good health.
I have gone through your complaints and understand your concern.
I generally see many cases like this at my clinic.

a torn meniscus cannot be neglected for sure.

get a fresh mri done. If its repairable, get it repaired or else get the damaged meinscus removed to prevent further damage to the knee.

the surgery needs to be done arthoscopically.
You should eventually get back to normal in coming few days.Nothing to worry about, as long as i am there to help you.     
I hope your question has been answered.
If you have any follow-up queries,feel free to consult me anytime. Take care,God bless.
