I had a medial meniscus root repair yesterday. I am non weight bearing for 6 whole weeks! I am having quite a bit of pain and at this point I'm regretting going through with it. My entire body hurts. I'm overweight and I'm sure using the crutches and every other muscle from my arms to my stomach has contributed to my aches and pains. I've been told to move my foot often and do leg lifts throughout the day, problem is I can barely lift my leg. At least right now. My throat and jaw hurt, hopefully from the anesthesia. I guess I'm just hoping someone else has experienced this and that it will soon turn around. I'm pretty miserable right now.
