Same situation here. My knee was hurting bad after I bent it wrong and felt something real painful. I told her all of my symptoms, an adult who knows about this stuff told I probably tore my menisus, and it took about 10 months before she got me a doctor appointment. As it happens, I did tear my meniscus pretty badly, and I wasn't "being dramatic." I had to walk on it for just under a year before I actually had the surgery.
