Hello,
Persons having meniscus problem also have increase chances of developing osteoarthritis. You have not mentioned your age in your question. If it is near or above fifty years, then there are more chances of development of arthritis at your knee.
At early age there are more chances that this pain is just due to internal derangement of knee. In both cases you have to strengthen your knee which can be done by exercises. You may do warm fomentation with help of water bag for three times a day. Apply a local analgesic liniment.You can have a joint supplement like glucosamine, chondroitin with or without collagen preparation.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
