knee problem -meniscus or something else need advisehi everyone

it has been awhile since i needed advise but here goes(thank you in advance for your help)

on 04/13/12 i was doing some speed work i warmed up doing 1 mile run

then did some speed work ran a 1/10 jog a 1/10 for 2 miles then did 1 mile cool down run

i went to the gym to do upper body weights and some stretching but i notice my knee was swollen

i went to work(i stand all day) then went home to ice. i still to this day have a swollen knee all around the knee outside inside top and bottom

went to ortho-they feel it is a meniscus misalignment?

i had a cortisone shot to see if i could run not good

going to have a MRI today

just need some advise as where this maybe going?

what i need to look forward to/ good and bad

i have been running 3 yrs

my last 1/2 was 03/18/12 ran comfortable

i roll/stretch/ice i have always had tight calfs so i

know the routine on pre/post runs

now i had the mri read with these results :

are advance arthritic changes along the lateral aspect of the patellofemral joint with prominent cartilage loss of both the lateral facet

of the patella and trochilear protion of the femur lateral of midline with prominent subchondral edema-serve osteoarthritis

will to say the least it looks like my running days are over

with a 1/2 coming up on 03/18 what speed work can i do once a week till the 1/2 to improve

Sundays-a long run up to 11.5(LSD)

Tuesday-a 6.5 mile run(steady pace)

Fridays-a 6.5 mile run doing 1 mile warmup then running 1/10 at fast pace then slowing down 1/10

repeat for a mile then run 1 1/2 mile go back to run 1/10 f/p then s/d 1/10 doing this for again

then 1 mile cool down( i think i need something else here)
