    I have been suffering from a knee injury almost 2 years ago but until now I’m still having some problem with it. I have seen those athletes got an operation but I don’t know how much would it cost. Anyone here who ahs an idea on the actual cost?

    You would have to talk with your doctor. Cost is based on a lot of things that would vary depending on location, and instruments used..

    You are right but I just want to get an idea so that I could save for the operation. I don’t want to be disappointed that I don’t have enough money.

    There's absolutely no way that this can be answered except by a surgeon who knows what he or she would have to do... it could be a "small" matter of doing something with cartilage or it could be a whole kneecap replacement or something more serious.

    I can't see any surgery being less than a few thousand dollars when a quick trip to the ER can be nearly a grand.

    I never realized that there are a lot to consider on what kind of surgery I would need. Thanks for the nice feedback!

    Yes, it could be a number of things causing that pain for you. You'd need to first find out what exactly happened and what the problem is before they'll tell you what kind of surgery you'd need.
