I have a compound tear in my meniscus in my right knew as well as some arthritis. IT is very painful to do very basic activities (walking , stairs, bending my knees etc) what is a medication that I could take until I can get to an orthopedic surgeon in 6 - 9 months to hopefully repair the meniscus tears

Hello,
The treatment of meniscus tear and arthritis can be treated through anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen. I also suggest using cold compresses for local application. I recommend to rest and avoid activities that can trigger the symptoms.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
