As part of my lifestyle change (weightloss, fitness regime) I tried jogging. I took about 3 steps and then pretty much what happened to you, happened to me.

Saw the doc, went for an MRI and found out it was the miniscus.

The MRI revealed that it was pretty much shredded. Kind of like opening up the fingers on your hand. This causes a fair amount of discomfort but the worst part is the weakness in the knee. No stability, feels like its going to fall off etc.

Anyhow, I was fortunate enough to get a phone call last week that they had an opening in the surgical rotation and I am off on Wednesday to get it fixed. Its Orthoscopic surgery and doc says that downtime is about 2 to 3 days.
