Knee arthroscopy (meniscus shave, chrondroplasty, and lateral release) last week… While I could walk the day of (with stiffness and mild pain/discomfort) I used crutches with *some weight bearing the first two days. By the third day, I was walking with minimal pain/discomfort and stiffness, and had a near normal gait pattern. I’m at day 6 and have essentially no pain/discomfort, very little stiffness, and have been able resume all normal activities (minus working out to the level I did before). PT exercises and stretches (2x daily), frequent icing, and walking have helped tremendously. I was told 6 weeks for full recovery from my osteo (based on my age, fitness/health, and activity level)… I was extremely skeptical at first, but am now rather optimistic. BL based on my experience - Pain, stiffness, and recovery are relative and will differ from person to person.

The mornings my knee can be slightly stiff, but loosens up with 10-15 minutes. While I’m not a doctor, I would think two weeks off work is more than enough time to recover to a functional level… PT, daily stretching/range of motion exercises, and icing/elevation work wonders for recovery.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Can you give us any updates now?

I had double tear with fold back. Surgery done. 9 weeks later. Slightly improved but still pain. Then learned about knee decompression. Big improvement in the last week.

I do have a tear folds and frays. I'm looking to get the surgery in a couple of weeks

I had arthroscopic surgery on my knee 2 weeks ago. The whole experience left me angry. Between the surgeon not speaking to me afterwards, and his rude receptionist, I won't go back to see him. I'm walking well, do have pain at the end of the day, but I'm doing these exercises.

Really great video. I just had this meniscus surgery last week. I am progressing pretty well still have a slight pain and stiffness. I think the key is to keep moving stretching and strengthening the muscles around the knee, of course follow your doctor.

This is very helpful. I had abrasion chondroplasty patellofemoral joint surgery done a week ago. After removing the dressing and bandage yesterday, my knee looks so swollen and still is very tender. I was never given any exercises to do but I was encouraged to get on my feet every now and then to promote blood circulation. My follow up appointment is next week, Tuesday. I will mention to him these exercises. They look like they will help a lot. By the way, what is the recovery time after such surgery?

Great video, i think ill skip surgery

I had arthroschopy surjry partlal menusuctomy both knees together 5 months ago i feel better but some time feel pain can i use stairs now without support my age is 42 years

My surgeon said that it's best to get moving ASAP so I went for a walk with my walker within a couple of hours of the operation. The surgeon met me in the hallway and told me that he was surprised to see me walking

Man I’m still getting pain by the meniscus at 2.5 weeks post op. When I jump it hurts. Someone know why that is?

Surgeon: How can I help you Patient: I got a little bit of knee. I want you to make the knee pain permanent, I want to be unable to walk properly, I want to develop knee arthitis, I do not want to return to the sport I used to do. Surgeon: No problem, I've done that plenty of times, for plenty of people Patient: Oh good, with that package, I should be able to finish it off and develop a serious depressive disorder

Thanks for sharing this, that's one of the reason I've cancelled this surgery so far. I have loose bodies in my knee, however I have full range of motion despite them being present. I'm an active person and I'm concerned about the recovery, plus removing these loose bodies do not treat the source of the problem. Could we share contacts so that I have more of your insight?

@@jaleesaedwarda9173 Hi! So glad you contacted me. I did not have massive swelling and was able to bend my knee early on. The 1st 2 days I thought I had it made, not much pain! Was I ever wrong. I think it was the anesthesia the DR injected in my knee after the surgery. But it begin to hurt a lot later. I did begin to do exercises in about 2 days. I went to PT 14 days later Believe it or not, I hurt my other knee, and will go to the Ortho next wk. I was in denial for awhile. My knee still hurts from the surgery. Did you get a Baker's cyst or a bone contusion? I did.
