What Causes Constant Pain In The Knee With Torn Meniscus?

I am suffering constant knee pain - I know I have some torn meniscus in right knee, but for the last number of months I've been unable to even get out of chair or walk without pain in my entire leg (both right and left) but more pronounced in my right. I've had cortisone shots in right knee and it seemed to help for some time. Both knees are swollen, but more pronounced in my Rt knee. I wear an elastic wrap on the Rt knee. Is there something more happening do you think that's causing the constant pain? I need to find an orthopod in NJ who takes Medicare.
