Thank you triumph.1 for the kind and well-written reply. I'm glad to hear that your meniscus injury recovered.
I'm not trying to self-diagnose the injury though. I've got a D1 trainer that I see daily and an orthopedic surgeon that I see weekly. I'm sure they will be able to provide some more information.
As it is the weekend, and I am somewhat in a panic over this, I was hoping that someone might have had a similar pain and could reassure me that such a pain is in fact temporary, and not a new long-term chronic injury.
