They suck. At least with a shoulder issue you can still walk around and do errands and whatnot. With an injured knee, walking becomes a huge hurdle, which makes you sit on the couch all the time and drives you insane.
But, I think I've used up my meniscus enough and can't tear it again (at least the right knee lateral meniscus). They're repaired it twice now for two different tears and this time, he cut out the excess meniscus that I had, so now I have a normal sized meniscus. Which means if I tear it again, they'll cut out more which leads to earlier onset of arthritis. Granted, I'll still have arthritis in that knee in 5-10yrs, I actually already have signs of it.
