I've been experiencing pain for 6 months now, so its nice to finally know the cause and know its not just me being a wimp when I say my knee hurts!!! </p> <p>I'm no orthopaedic surgeon but I talked to my friend tonight who has done 2 ortho rotations...she reckons I'll be right within a few days. I need to wait to see a surgeon myself, but I guess I'll try and get it done sooner rather than later. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-dodgy-knee#post-155656 Wed, 12 May 2010 12:53:44 +0000 anne 155656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No idea Tam but send my sympathies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-dodgy-knee#post-155643 Wed, 12 May 2010 11:38:04 +0000 Michelle 155643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like so many others, I can't offer any knee advice, just send hugs, ice packs and good wishes!

Arthroscopy is the way to go for tears, as far as I can tell. I have tears in the lateral meniscus of both knees, and had a menisctomy on my left knee.</p> <p>The two days after surgery really suck. Then it gets better, and you'll be hobbling around on crutches for a week or so. As far as going back to work goes, it depends on what kind of work you do. If you sit a lot, you need to get up and move around regularly because your knee will stiffen up and hurt a lot if you keep it in one position. Also, try to schedule the surgery on a Tuesday or Wednesday, then you'll have the weekend to recover and be back at work on Monday.</p> <p>It will take around 6 weeks to start feeling some benefit of the surgery, and 3 months to fully recover.</p> <p>As far as delaying or not, consult your schedule and see if you have a 3-month window (or 2 month at minimum) in which your knee can be not totally 100%.</p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-dodgy-knee#post-155565 Wed, 12 May 2010 05:06:17 +0000 marianna 155565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know nothing about knees, but I'm sending you well wishes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-dodgy-knee#post-155555 Wed, 12 May 2010 04:31:16 +0000 Angie 155555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh! You poor gal :0(</p> <p>You're the doctor, Tam. I know nothing about knee surgery. Just want you to get fixed up soon. (((hugs))). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-dodgy-knee#post-155547 Wed, 12 May 2010 04:10:10 +0000 yublocka 155547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok you know you're addicted to ylf when you write here asking for knee advice!!</p> <p>I've just got my MRI results back which confirm I have a tear in the medial meniscus of my right knee. No wonder I've had pain for 6 months. Dr is recommending arthroscopy to try and repair it.</p> <p>I don't know whether to try and get it done as early as possible (within weeks) or delay it for a while, given that its not super urgent, but is preventing me from doing any running without pain. Actually even some yoga movement hurt, but bike riding is ok!</p> <p>Cathy I know you had recent knee surgery, how about anyone else? Dr reckons I'd only need 2-3 days off work to get this done. Does that sound realistic?? </p> <p>Thanks for advice!</p> <p>tam </p>
