Pinched nerves rarely occur in the extremity...most of them happen near the spine. In that case, pain is typically affected by movements of the spine (and there is usually pain near the spine), it rapidly chances based on these movements...either getting better, worse, localizing closer to the spine or moving further away from the spine. People with a pinched nerve coming from the spine typically feel better getting up and moving around a little bit and feel worse with sitting. Physical therapy, chiropractic care, anti-inflammatories, cortisone injections are some of the options of standard of care for a pinched nerve.
A nerve entrapment CAN happen away from the spine, but it is rare and has serveral characteristics. First of all, it can happen because of bony growth, scar tissue, or injury to the area around a nerve...especially around areas where the nerve makes a sharp turn around a bone...such as just below the outside of the knee. It is characterized by numbness, tingling, pain and weakness to the point distal to the injury. For instance, I once saw a women who developed the inability to use her foot after she was placed improperly in stirrups while delivering her baby...this put too much pressure on the outside of her knee and she was unable to use her foot properly until the nerve function returned.
Tears in the cartilage or meniscus of the knee typcially are painful with activity...especially with full bending and/or straightening of the knee. There may be popping, swelling and tenderness along the jointline. People with tears in the meniscus typcially feel better with rest (but not with the knee bent for too long) and feel worse with increased activity. This should help guide you as to the origin of your pain.

If your MRI showed that you have a hole in your cartlidge
then you will need surgery. It should just be Day surgery where you are in and out and they send you home with painkillers for a few days.
There will be a scar but after awhile it should be minimal.
Talk to the surgeon and he/she will answer any questions that you might have.
I suspect that it is the idea of having a scar that upsets you the most.

Hit yourself with a bat on the other knee. That will then make you forget about the pain of the trapped nerve. If you do this every time the trapped nerve hurts you will soon forget all about it !!! Just go to the doctors you tart !!!!

Most people believe that once they are diagnosed with some vision problem and start wearing eye glasses or contact lenses to correct them, they will have to do so for life in order to see better. Those who want a permanent solution to improve eyesight typically resort to Lasik or other corrective eye surgeries. But you you can also improve your vision without surgery and can see perfectly well without using eyeglasses or contact lenses. You can check here to know how https://tr.im/33c02

Ask your doctor about an exercise routine. Regular exercise, such as walking three times a week, may reduce neuropathy pain, improve your muscle strength and help control blood sugar levels. Gentle routines such as yoga and tai chi might also help.

try ibuprofen, it contains brufen which is an anti inflammatory and if you have nerves etc trapped due to muscular swelling this will resolve the issue, however if this doesn't work you may need a surgical procedure
