Arthroscopy for meniscus tear

[Sapie88]

I had a slight meniscus tear that healed itself.

Did you not ask the doctor? It'd be first port of call for me before asking GOT.

Although if he says something about sawdust you can probably feel vindicated

Cheers TeRRy

The doctor will just say what it says on the NHS website.

I'm sorry, I've lowered myself here to try and be one of the "lads"

I was being facee . . faseti . . fasci . . I was being a tit

I hope everything goes well and it's not too long recovery time

Cheers Terence

Fair enough, I was genuinely being honest about your average GP appointment these days! Standard to be sent home with a few printouts from webmd or doctors.com or some such online resource.

Wife has an op on her knee early Dec, her meniscus is all mangled and it needs trimming/repairing/removing depending on the severity of the tear.

Needs to submit a leave of absence form at work but doesn't have a clue what to expect for recuperation.

Anyone had a similar experience and share the sort of timeframes for standing/walking/running etc?

Ta.

In all seriousness had this a few years ago, a couple of days to hobble about with crutches,gradual walking unaided with intense physio from about 3-6 weeks back at work after about 5 weeks jogging probably after about 8 weeks though in all truthfulness you probably don't get 100% movement and sensitivity until after about 6 months.

If it's keyhole surgery for an operation like that it should be fine

It's much the same recovery time as man-flu, so two to three weeks.

 

[thirdmantackle]

I was walking without pain after a week
Swimming after 2

I was in good shape, not overweight and the meniscus was only folded and not really damaged
