Meniscus Surgery Friday? |
I should have done this earlier but I鈥檓 starting to get a little paranoid. I鈥檓 having knee surgery Friday 鈥?arthroscopic to repair a meniscus tear. The doctor said I鈥檇 be able to walk the same day and he鈥檇 be giving me exercises to do. I am not foolish enough to think I鈥檒l be 100% same day or even in a few days. I expect to HURT. What I am wondering is what to really expect. How well will I be able to walk that day? How long until I can do things properly again? I almost feel like I鈥檓 not getting a strait answer because I don鈥檛 think he feels I should be very active due to other conditions. But I want to be able to walk and ride a bike again without screaming. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. I had the same surgery and yes! you do walk the same day. Actually as soon as I was home I was able to walk around the house just fine (just not up and down stairs) and went back to work 2 days later. Your knee area will be quite swollen, so it's hard going up and down stairs and roll over in your sleep, but you can shower the same day. Don't expect to ride your bike for at least 3-4 week --more like 4 weeks, but you should be able to do almost everything else in 2-3 days. You will be able to walk that same day, not a 10k walk but you can walk. Just use your cane and take it easy. It will take about 5 to 10 days at most and you'll feel great. You'll be asking yourself why you just didn't do it sooner. Good luck!!! Weight-bearing as tolerated. I've had six knee surgeries. 4 left, 2 right. I had left knee scope in May. Did walk the same day, but also very tired from surgery. Rest is good. You should bounce back pretty quick. |
