I also have a torn meniscus but i don't see my consultant until the end of July.I am waiting for physio but there is a long waiting list until anout July.My consultant did mention about an arthroscopy and told me that you can walk straight away and it takes a couple of weeks to get over it.
I have been suffering for a long time and i am even in pain as soon as i get up even though i have rested all night.I have read a lot on the surgery and some people have still got pain after several months.I find the pain worse as the day goes on and going up stairs is a nightmare.What information has your consultant given you? I have even asked twice for a cortisone injection but they won't do it.Some people say this won't make any difference at all.Again some people say that a torn meniscus will heal without surgery while others say they won't.I am totally confused.
Take care
Luv
