[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 36381, member: 2315"] I had a torn lateral meniscus and had surgery for it 8 years ago. Initally they put me in an imobilizer but the joint frose and I had to have surgery about six month out. I lost about 60% of the cartiledge. I was on crutches for about three weeks, PT 3X a week for three months and then on a home plan for another three months. It took a few years before I could squat and get back up without boosing myself with my hands but other than that I did fine. I resumed all my sports using a knee brace three months after surgery. I have only one tiny visable scar. I now have arthritus in the knee but that would probably have happened to me anyway although some studies indicate a higher incidence for people who have had this type of surgery. You should do fine Steph. -RM [/QUOTE]
