Ouch!! Sorry to hear it. My knee (collateral ligament, so the doc said) started hurting when I was running HS track and field. It was swollen and it hurt to walk for like 3 months. Finally got to the point where it stopped hurting and the swelling went down.
Many, many years later, it still lets me know from time to time that it isn't all it could be. If I strain it, it will hurt for a week or more. Lifted a 327 block in the garage on Saturday and its been hurting a little this week.
Hate to see them replacing parts in an 18-year old. Are you an athlete? How did you mess up your knees?

my knees used to hurt all the time, it really helps to lift the wieght correctly, your hip, knee, and ankle all have to be in line, otherwise it'll hurt. mine hurt now, cause my legs not straight!
if you're doing something like water polo or cricket, you're just screwed

yea i do jiu jitsu, karate, and judo. and i wrestle whenever i get a chance, i run i do everything i can thats active basically, but still 3 surgeries at 18 i thought was a lil much
as your lawyer i advise you to stop all that running, theres no good that can come of it.
