Torn menial meniscus . Operation last week. Means More time at home. More time on THaiVisa or watching movies. More time to pick up the guitar. Not used to doing nothing.

Uncanny....I just come from the hospital yesterday and been told I have a torn medial meniscus, have to wait another 2 weeks in a brace and medication before reassessing.

Stil at work though

I think I have the same issue.....considering an op on it.......doh!

I think I have Ebola.

It's OK, it turned out to be just the Ruby Murray.

yeah , i managed a slightly torn menicsi for years, then a change of fitness regime and it was just constantly painful ,so had an athroscopy done.

tbh, post op the worst thing 4 me was the effects of the anesthetic, f--cked me 4 a few days, such a little scar surely means a little op? or maybe

i'm wrong on that one, but a mate had an alternative anesthetic for a groin op he literally watched it being done and didn't go through the crap

that the standard anesthetic seems to bring.

anyway do the re hab and maybe a touch more, and your be right as rain in no time

oh,,, wiki has quite a good page on it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tear_of_meniscus

I'm wondering how long afterwards till I will be able to walk around...and get back to swimming?

Funny mate cos I have sprained the other ankle 12 days ago too.....so its almost been the case.

I will be back swimming next week though.....and can still drink a Didsbury wankah under the table any time.....bring it on!

I'm wondering how long afterwards till I will be able to walk around...and get back to swimming?

i seem to remember I was walking around, within 3 /4 days

swimming,,, now theres a frigging point, i flew over to Thailand a week or so after the op and started swimming after a week or so in thailand and promptly got an infection,and a blown up knee aint what u want, what with the heat ect ect. from what i was told after the event by a specialist in Thailand best keep it dry until the wounds well healed.

I'm wondering how long afterwards till I will be able to walk around...and get back to swimming?

Under a week and i have been told i can cycle and swim.

Try tampons, then you can swim, cycle, play tennis and ride horses.

from what i recall jocks, on reflection to have avoided the probs i got, i reckon I should have put fresh bandages on after every swim.
