In reply to the discussion: Out of surgery. [View all]csziggy
(34,135 posts)41. Excellent! I'm glad the surgeon was able to repair your meniscus
Mine was so damaged he had to take it out in each knee and the sheath around the bone ends was completely worn through so I was walking bone on bone. That's why I got knee replacements - bone on bone wear got far too painful to live with.
I'm one week out from my L5-S1 fusion and doing good, walking around the house, but still prohibited from walking around the farm. No stairs - yet. The physical therapist said by July I will be hiking cross country so I will be ready for our trip to the UK which begins July 21.
Take and don't push yourself too fast. Your body still has to heal.
