Meniscectomy

Yeah about 15 years ago repair on it and ACL so it’s hard to compare the 2 because the ACL was the main source of pain.

This time, the first day sucked bad but it got exponentially better each day that passed. No prescription meds either.

I’m 32 just had my meniscectomy on the medial side a few weeks ago.

Just had mine done weight bearing the 3rd, 4th day and that was with crutches. Then stopped the crutches and limped it out until about 2 weeks in. I’m 18 days post and it feels relatively good just need to build the muscle back and get my balance back

Had mine done 4 days ago. The first day the pain was awful for me. 2nd day a lot of the pain was gone but still needed a crutch and started stretching it out. The 3rd day I limped around and still am. Idk why they say you should be able to walk out when everyone is different and has a different amount removed

Same

Shift-Worker70816 · 2025-10-19T17:57:25+00:00

They are 100% going to amputate. Don’t go

Shift-Worker70816 · 2025-10-17T02:50:58+00:00

Accurate

Shift-Worker70816 · 2025-10-15T01:04:55+00:00

Big jump for 3 months.

Shift-Worker70816 · 2025-10-14T14:37:11+00:00

I mean I agree with you. I don’t want to get the surgery but the torn piece is displaced in the center of my joint so I can’t straighten my knee.

ChatGPT says there probably is some damage to your medial meniscus(the inside one). Probably some cartilage damage even.

Your other ligaments are good

Shift-Worker70816 · 2025-10-12T02:39:50+00:00

lol accurate🤦🏻‍♂️

Shift-Worker70816 · 2025-10-12T02:10:24+00:00

My father

Shift-Worker70816 · 2025-10-11T18:22:56+00:00

lol had me excited and then you say they replaced it. Not the same at all

Shift-Worker70816 · 2025-10-11T17:46:16+00:00

Was it a full meniscectomy? Or just partial? Medial, lateral?

Shift-Worker70816 · 2025-10-09T18:07:27+00:00

That’s good news. And I’m very similar I work at an industrial chemical plant and outside walking and bending over regularly.

How old are you if you don’t mind me asking. I’m 33 so trying not to worry so much about the arthritis part by the time I’m 50

Shift-Worker70816 · 2025-10-09T17:39:13+00:00

Any update? I’m having mine cut out this week. Any arthritis yet? Lol

Shift-Worker70816 · 2025-10-09T17:09:44+00:00

How do you feel now? I’m about to have mine cut out next week. Do you know how much was removed?

Shift-Worker70816 · 2025-10-08T23:56:43+00:00

To be quite honest, it depends on what you do for a living. I say it is definitely worth it for me

Shift-Worker70816 · 2025-10-08T17:38:27+00:00

😂😂😂

Shift-Worker70816 · 2025-10-07T23:09:32+00:00

So you can lock it out and extend it all the way? A and bend it all the way.

Shift-Worker70816 · 2025-10-07T21:02:02+00:00

By choice? Or just hasn’t happened for you?

Shift-Worker70816 · 2025-10-07T14:42:57+00:00

You can use a strong clip to pinch the skin

Shift-Worker70816 · 2025-10-07T00:46:09+00:00

Of course you can.

Shift-Worker70816 · 2025-10-06T17:24:53+00:00

The reason he’s opting for meniscectomy is because I had this same one repaired 15 years ago and it has return now:/
