I am 7 days post op from a knee arthroscopy for a menisectomy, chondraplasty and debriedment. So far the bruising seems to be going away and a little less swelling. There is one thing that strikes me as odd. I'm having quite a bit of achy pain in my quadriceps, mainly with activity. I suspect that it's from the surgeon scraping damaged cartilage from my femur. Does this sound normal?

    Well yes although outside of my personal experience it is logical that any surgery will have consequences. the bruising is the first stage and healing will follow but nature is slow and it will take some time though not as long as TKR's!!
