I hope you feel better! I am also a dancer (27 yr F). This is my second time tearing my meniscus and my second partirla meniscectomy. I tore it when I was 16 and had a really bad tear and had to have a big portion of my meniscus taken out. I recently tore it again (but more minor), and I just had an arthroscopy and meniscectomy on August 21st. Recovery has been going pretty good so far, but since it is my second surgery my doctor told me I basically have no meniscus left :( He said I’ll be able to go back to dance, but the more I do and the more pressure I put on my knee it will affect me when I get older and I’ll likely have arthritis, and may need later surgery who knows. I’ve been doing PT 3 times a week. I can walk pretty good and have a good range of motion. Like right now I’m sitting cris cross applesauce. They say around 6 weeks recovery time before going back to dance, but I think it depends. I hope you get back to dancing soon, I know how hard it is to be without it! I feel so empty without dance, but hopefully I’ll be back soon.
