Knee arthroscopy
« on: Today at 09:31:51 AM »

Morning ladies . Has any of you had experience of a knee arthroscopy ? 
I had one 11 days ago …they did a partial meniscus repair but I’m still in quite a bit of pain and experiencing stiffness and still limping . Hoping this is normal . Not seeing surgeon for another 8 weeks !  Would love to hear your experiences …. Thank you x

It can take a while to recover - R U able to describe the pain, do U require pain relief? 

I would expect U to be on elbow crutches at this stage, partial weight bearing.  R U elevating the limb above the hip whilst sitting and during sleep to avoid any swelling? 8 weeks is a long time to wait for a review, mayB ask a physiotherapist if these symptoms are 'normal' at this stage.

Were U advised to do quadriceps exercises, this again a physio. could advise upon.
