Is there a Doctor in the Asylum?!?!

Help I need some advice!! On Nov.25, 2008 I had arthroscopy and debridement on my left knee for a torn Medial meniscus. The specialist said 4 to 6 weeks and I should be as good as new. Well it's Jan.14, 2009 and my knee still hurts!! I saw the specialist today and explained that I get a sharp pain in my knee if I walk or stand for very long and when I'm going up or down the stairs. He tells me that some pain is unexplainable. He did an MRI, found the torn Medial meniscus, did surgery to repair it and I should be fine now. He doesn't know why I'm still in pain and that I should quote "bite the bullet and go back to work!" I don't have a problem going back on Monday, I'm just a little concerned that it might get worse. Why is it still hurting and what am I supposed to do now, just live with the pain? Sorry for whining but I'm just a bit worried!!
