Back in April, I went in for repair of lateral meniscus repair. Surgeon cleaned it up, said no arthritis. Same day surgery, so within 4 hours I was headed home. Told elevate, use ice etc. Was given no note to be off work for any extended amount of time. Went in for a couple of follow up appts, surgeon said it was healing nicely, and would heal the most for the first month and continue to heal over the next year. Had surgery on Tues, by Thursday I was back at work. I'm an EVS Department Manager, so I'm on my feet ALOT. 6 Weeks out surgeon released me. Never gave e any strengthening exercises to do, no PT orders....nothing. Now its October, my knee is swollen DAILY, and uncomfortable to slightly painful, and TIGHT. Is there anything I can do to help?
