2 . "I have had 2 torn meniscus repair surgeries and then eventually a total knee replacement." Posted by suzhappy on Oct-01-17 at 05:28 PM (Eastern)
Posted on Oct-01-17 at 05:28 PM (Eastern) by 24.145.48.30 The physical therapists came to my house twice a week for 6 weeks then I had to go there for 12 more weeks. I thought I would never again walk without a limp but little by little they had my knee working like it was supposed to! I haven't had any knee problems at all since then. I don't think I could say that without having the surgeries. "If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything."

Posted on Oct-01-17 at 06:01 PM (Eastern) by 65.26.239.132 I don't understand how PT alone would resolve the situation completely. If you have any torn piece inside, every time you move the knee that piece will be irriated and hurt. The surgery is pretty easy and you are released a few hours after surgery.
