Meniscus surgery is usually done with the expectation that you’ll have a normal knee in a few short months after surgery.
But it’s often the case that there’s still knee pain and swelling 3, 4,...even 6 to 12 months after having a meniscus repair or a menisectomy surgery done.
What pain is normal after meniscus repair surgery?
How do you know if this was a failed meniscus surgery?
Why does my knee hurt worse after meniscus surgery?
These questions swirl in your head when more time has gone by and you feel like you’re “behind schedule” when it comes to healing after your meniscus surgery.
But there are MANY reasons you are still having pain and swelling in your knee.

I had a meniscus tear that was removed in 1998, when I was 21 years old. Arthritis, and eventually, a TKR wasn't needed until 2019. Pretty successful procedure, I'd say. Now I'm preparing for another meniscutomy for my other knee that is still arthritis-free. Hope it lasts as long as the other knee. Thanks for the video.

I live in a 2 story split-level house and walk up and down stairs multiple times during the course of the day. My meniscus surgery was over 6 months ago and I am in so much pain some days I can barely leave the house to check the mail. I experience more pain walking on a flat surface than when I use the stairs. I'm using 2 canes to help alleviate weight-bearing on my knee. Am I aggravating the healing process or are the stairs good for me? Thank you, this is a very informative channel.

I had my right meniscus surgery back in March 24, 2012. My surgeon (who is now deceased since 2022) had removed all the tissue out of my right knee. I would therapy with a couple of therapists who were kind of rude of wanting me to recover quickly in a few weeks instead of months. After eleven years I have been walking and running normally and I hated the fact that I have no muscle in my right knee, just bones rubbing together and stiffness which discouraged me. The only thing they gave me was blood transfusion and not a meniscal replacement or transplant, because that was only solution that available back then. I guess I just have to deal with my right knee having a hollow shape and different than my left knee. I don't want a knee replacement because it would be horrible situation. I tend to live with my current situation although I have bone on bone stiffness in my right knee when I bend, squat, kneel, slowly walking up and down stairs and sit difficultly in a lotus position every now and then. When I stand up straight, I would have wrinkles on my right knee because of missing meniscus muscles.

I flatlined in knee surgery. Doctor and anesthesiologist didn't tell me. I stopped therapy and am doing exercises at home. Therapist was arrogant.

@keekeemyfirstcat8410 6 күн бұрын

I had meniscal surgery and was doing great at 2 weeks, then started PT which hurt my knee. At 5 weeks I was at the gym doing upper body weight lifting and stopped to do 10 minutes on the bicycle, no drag. Two days later I could hardly walk on my knee. Now two weeks later, the front of my knee hurts with sharp tearing like pain when I step on my leg. I am very athletic and never had arthritis before the surgery. I had issues with putting weight on the leg after a knee injury during skiing, which I ski all season. I am beginning to think I did the wrong thing in attempting to fix my knee to be able to ski again at an expert level on pack slopes. I am at 8 weeks now. I stopped doing PT after I injured my knee. Wondering if my knee will ever be any better.

Post surgery care is very important. We should not rush the healing process. It's five months since I had my surgery. Though I was able to walk in two days, the pain remained till four months. Only now I'm slowly able to walk normally and cycle. The doctors don't advise properly. Please consult a good physio. All the best.

@greenleavesofsummer9673 10 ай бұрын

It’s not a good surgery. I’ve had it. It did relieve a lot of crippling pain but not all. At that time I didn’t need knee replacement. The Pain had to be caused by arthritis. I was in discomfort until I received an injection of A2M (Alpha 2 Macroglobulin) which is known to heal arthritis. I received it at a regenerative place & Within 2 weeks I completely had no pain, and no pain for the next 2years! In later years I started taking omega 3 & antioxidants and exercising more. Being overweight or becoming overweight agrevates the knees. There are A2M offices all over country. Just get a well trained, Ortho to do it that has good experience using it & understands the knee operation.
