I had my second shot last week Friday (2019-05-24). My first shot was a month prior (2019-04-26).
The first shot was interesting that there was very little pain during the injection, and post injection. I had a slight amount of soreness, but really negligible.
After the first injection, about second week in I noticed a greater range of motion without pain. While significant it still wasn't 100%.
A few days before my second shot I actually went and did Brazilian Jiu Jitsu class(basic) and was able to move my leg in the ways I needed. I didn't do any live rolling so there was no stress test, but I was able to maintain closed guard (which I couldn't after the meniscus tore). The day after I also did a small amount of running which probably wasn't the wisest thing to do.
The reason I don't think the running was great is because the day of the shot I had some slight swelling and inflammation in my knee. I'm not sure if it was the swelling, or the second injection just took a different path, but the second inject hurt significantly more during the inject and post injection. During the injection the main pain cam from piercing what I assume was the joint capsule.

Post injection I have knee flexion limitations. I can't flex my knee back more than 90° and I can't rotate in to sit cross legged. In both cases I feel knee pain and tugging on some internal structure. Almost certainly from inflammation.
I'm 4 days past the injection with some improvement.
Again the goal I hoping to meet is to be able to continue doing BJJ without having meniscus surgery. I don't want to have meniscus surgery because it's generally a subtractive procedure that puts you that much closer to osteo-arthritis.
