[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 168428, member: 1514"] I havent actually torn my meniscus but I have had arthroscopic surgery on my knee to remove calcification deposits. They went in to see if my meniscus was torn because that would have been the easier thing to fix. The scoping surgery really isnt that bad. Its same day surgery and as long as you start taking your pain medications before the numbing medications wear off, you shouldnt be in too much pain. I made the mistake the first leg thinking I was feeling ok and not starting the pain medications right away...oh big mistake! I woke up writhing in pain...lol. Did not do that with the second knee let me tell you!!! I think they do more PT with torn meniscus surgery than they do with what I had because they can heal it. Mine there was no healing. Im left with bone on bone. [/QUOTE]
