I'm wondering if anyone here has had experience with a Meniscus tear with a surgical repair? I know that it is a very common procedure...
easy child hurt his knee three weeks ago (dancing at a DragonCon convention of all places). Despite conservative treatment it is no better and he cannot bend or extend his leg. He went to see an orthopedist and he's going for a MRI Tuesday. The ortho is pretty certain that he is going to need a Meniscus tear repair.
easy child is thinking that he will have this and toddle off to a work trip to Manhattan in three weeks. I have my doubts and I'm thinking he might want to have the surgery after the trip, as he is basically getting around without crutches now.
If you've had experience with this surgery( or know someone who has) , I'd love to hear your thoughts...
thanks...
