The Sanders Clinic in Houston helped me out with my miniscal tear and later, shoulder injury information.

I know it is tough to dicipher medical mumbo-jumbo, but at a minmum you've torn the cartilage (miniscus) in your knee. Assuming you'd have arthroscopic surgery, it is not too bad and I wouldn't worry about it too much, in the surgery sense. Mine was out patient surgery, I was in and out of the hospital in less than 4 hours.
