A couple of months ago my right knee started popping loudly when I would straighten it. I had no pain whatsoever, so I did nothing about it. About 2 weeks ago, I was getting ready for work and twisted my knee. Now I have a lot of pain. I went to an orthopedic doctor and he did an x-ray and MRI. The MRI showed that I have a torn Medial Meniscus. My doctor wants to do surgery and the book he gave me states that a sudden twist or repeated squatting can tear the meniscus. I do a lot, and I really mean a lot of squatting and I'm constantly on my feet with my job at work. My question is do I file for Workers Comp or is it too late? If I do file, will they deny me because I waited too long or because I don't have enough proof that it happened because of my job. I have never filed workers comp in my life and I don't have a clue to what to do. Will it be a waste of my time and everyone else and a possible chance of losing my job? I know that I will have to see their doctors, but will they postpone the surgery date that I already have scheduled?
