Orthroscopic surgery meniscus

Was wondering what your experience was like having this procedure. Had MRI showed tears interior meniscus both knees. Dr. wants to do both at same time. Pounding movements such as jogging inflict sharp pain but I can squat as usual or leg press without discomfort. Set to go in Friday of this week.

my son had this same procedure done when he was in high school,and he done really well afterwards,just make sure you follow through with PT!! he was 16 when he had his done,so he done really well
 
Well Thanks for the quick reply Bullseye. I'm 40 ish and never had surgery but miss my short jogging intervals.
 
Ive had this done, and its never been the same. . .If id had known (before), i would have told the Dr to go fuck himself and just lived w it
 
man,what happened? was it just the surgery itself?

Ive had it done twice. . They cleaned it up each time. . Both times felt good for about 3 weeks after, and then it was worse. . The only way i would do it, is if i couldnt stand the pain anymore. . They dont "fix" it for damn sure. .I havent met anybody who had this procedure and it fixed it. Waste of time and money IMO

i was 16 when i had the same surgery but after the surgery i continued wrestling and went to state:) but the PT will determine how quickly you'll recover

Just realize that as with any surgery there is a risk of it not working out as well as you'd like. Make sure that they send to for PT for rehab after.

Good luck
 
It's been 3 weeks now & one knee is still much sorer then the other. I'm on the bike everyday trying to rehab these knees. Cannot kneel down on them yet even on a soft surface bed ect. Had what looked like bruising behind knee on worse knee that moved down my calf. Dr. said it was blood pooling. Jury is still out on the whole process.
