@krberg Hello!
I also fell at work. It wasn't until the next day that the pain really kicked in. I also had knee issues and I also tore my medical meniscus.
Luckily, my orthopedist is a Workman Comp doctor.
I couldn't walk and tests indicated I needed surgery. So, I did.
I was home for about a week or 2 and worked part time while I went for PT.
Since I was the boss, it was difficult being gone so long, but I did what I had to.
I hope you find a good doc and feel better soon.

@krberg You said to you did this at work did your boss send you to there Dr.? In Pa I fractured my back while on the job ,my boss sent me to there Dr.and I never had to do anything the Dr.and workers comp toke care of everything. I understand in Calif it's different. Good luck The Dr put me in a turtle shell brace it didn't cost me anything ,the workers comp should do as the Dr.says it you need a walker they should provide it
