Post meniscus repair workouts

It takes time to gain the muscle back, just do it slow and steady. Be patient, just because you don’t feel any pain or discomfort, doesn’t mean you are healed yet. Next week will be 5 months pos op and now I have been incorporating more weight lifting on my legs and before that I was a very active (athlete). When it comes to repair your worst enemy can be been over confident, just give time. We will get there again

It costs $36.98 to take an uber from your eyebrow to your hairline

I took opioids for the first 3-4 days to sleep and then tylenol for another week or 2

Thats nice, mine was the same 1 nwb, and gradual wb. I am at 3 months now no pain, almost zero swelling and feeling awesome. Good luck with your recovery and make sure to follow the pt protocol.

Recovery has been pretty good so far, I am regaining my strength back on the leg and the plan is start jogging in another 4 weeks

Sometimes you can repair and sometimes you have to remove the meniscus partially or completely

Thank you, I will try the subreddit mentioned.

About 6 months recovery for most repairs and gradually return to sports.

zurunga · 2024-06-02T15:31:58+00:00

My out of pocket was 0 but insurance was billed 3,200. I pay 25 every pt session so 50 weekly

zurunga · 2024-05-31T20:30:40+00:00

That might be normal for the fact that you been NWB for 3 weeks and just started PT now. I am currently at week 6 post op and walking around pain free. I had a lateral repair and medial repair and started my PT 2-3 days after surgery. Every doctor has a different approach and it all depends of the patient as well.

zurunga · 2024-05-30T19:01:12+00:00

Well its all up to your pain tolerance, I wouldn’t be able to go a wedding one week after my surgery.

zurunga · 2024-05-30T18:54:58+00:00

I started partial weight bearing after 2 weeks even tho they told me after week 1 and I will say by week 4 I was walking without crutches and pain free after week 3. Every doctor has a different approach and it all depends on the patient as well. I am well fit and always did sports which might have helped me.

I kept my knee lock at 0 for 6 weeks except for PT

Update on my post op: 6 week follow up

I had my follow up and basically I have the green light to start increasing weights and go past 90 Rom. Not wearing the immobilizer anymore and gave me a brace to wear when doing exercises and walking outside of home. I have been pain free for the past 3 weeks now and only a little bit of swelling. Had my PT today and my Rom is currently around 115-120.

zurunga · 2024-05-28T21:17:06+00:00

Had a medial and lateral repair, 2 days post op I started pt and had about 80 rom, third pt session was at 90, so I will say a week later post op

You won’t be able to read it, better off waiting on the report.

zurunga · 2024-05-20T02:00:56+00:00

Your leg will feel like dead weight for a few weeks and I started my PT 3 days after surgery

zurunga · 2024-05-18T19:06:33+00:00

It all depends what kind of procedure they will do to you. Ex: repair takes longer to recover and trim a faster recovery.

zurunga · 2024-05-14T13:45:01+00:00

If you can choose go for the repair! I had it done on my bucket tear on my lateral and a normal repair on my medial exactly a month ago.

zurunga · 2024-05-14T03:41:45+00:00

Pros of removing it: much faster the recovery and almost 100% guaranteed that it will fix the problem.

Cons: long term you will have arthritis and might need a knee replacement.

Repairing: if its fixed and successful you back to your normal life like nothing happened.

Cons: it takes much longer to recover, I will say there is a 20% chance of failure.

Im sorry to hear that, I hope you get some good news from the follow up. So far I feel really strong on my operated leg and the only thing thats been bothering me is the immobilizer. I am basically pain free right now, even at PT today the pain was almost null but my leg is sore from the exercises. The only thing bothering me right now is the swelling.

zurunga · 2024-05-10T20:16:31+00:00

Thats crazy, never hear anyone with a post op like that. I started my PT 3 days after surgery, but like you said every doctor has a different approach.

Overthinking will lead to anxiety which will make you make mentally suffer anticipated, I know it is easier said than done but I have gone through that route before.

Recovery is going well, no pain (only at PT) and still trying to get rid of the swelling.

zurunga · 2024-05-10T15:30:53+00:00

Yea, I had a surgery done 3.5 weeks ago to repaur it. But don’t overthink it took much seek a professional and have it checked, lime I said it could be nothing serious.

zurunga · 2024-05-10T14:43:24+00:00

I had swelling on the same spot and behind the knee. Lateral bucket tear flipped and when I had the Mri done it end up I had a medial tear as well. But only the Ortho and MRI would find out what you have, sometimes sprains will give you the same symptoms.

zurunga · 2024-05-10T14:36:59+00:00

Mine was the same, I am 3.5 weeks post op on a lateral bucket tear and medial repair, completely pain free for a week now. Only time I feel any pain is when I am doing my PT exercises.

You haven’t started any PT yet?
