Meniscus Tear Repaired, Post Op Question Posted: 08-11-06 22:40pm
Hi,
5 weeks ago I had a meniscus repair done
to my right knee.
After two weeks I removed the stitches,
but my knee is still swollen, and my leg
feel numm (or whatever you call it when
the feeling goes down, can't feel it if
i'm scratching it). This numness goes on
about 20cm down below my knee on the right
leg. Is this numness normal? And that
it's still swollen where they cut in my
leg
thank you, and sorry for poor english ^^
i'm norwegian :)

Miniscus Repair Posted: 12-08-06 03:00am
I had a repair done 4.5 yrs ago and it
never slowed me down. No numbness, no
pain but the surgery was done
arthescopicaly. I had the surgery on a
thursday and tuesday I started school as a
hair dresser. The school was not happy
when they saw me come in on crutches and I
had to get a release from my doctor who
told them I could do what ever I was up
to. I experienced very little problems.
I would suggest that you see a physical
therapist who can tell you what you need
to do to get your range of motion back.
Pushing yourself is a good thing. Good
luck.
