@countyguy2003 You definitely need to shed some weight. I'm 5.11 and was always 175-180 max. Now I'm 185 and feel like i'm overweight. It's not a question of good looks, it's a question of health. You need to lose some weight to give your knee some break! Good luck!

I just had my surgery a week and 2 days ago. Knee feels good, but it's still noticeable that it's not 100%. I noticed that you have the 3 incisions on your knee. My surgeon only used 2. Found it interesting, even though the video is from 2007.

@OSUlax959 I have no clue why my surgeon used 3 incisions instead of two...

How much does it cost for surgery if one's not insured? Looking to get my left knee (meniscus) worked on for the second time, but this time -- no insurance.

@aichausa Varies. From 3to 7K.

Sweet. I'm getting my right knee done this week.

@noep99

how are you doing now...I am facing torn meniscus surgery the day before Thanksgiving 2011 and I am wondering if I will feel up to going out Thanksgiving day? What are your thoughts based on your experience? Also How long before you could climb a flight of stairs?

Thanks, Hope you are recovering well!!! Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Based on the variety of comments, we are all in the same boat. We have had arthroscopic meniscus surgery. I had a bucket handle that was getting into the joint. It was not consistent pain until a couple months ago. Then it HURT!!. 50 years old. I walk'd without crutches in 1 day and was on the stationary bike in 3 days. I can walk without pain. It's getting back to running and windsurfing that will take time. The key is sticking to that PT. Get to the gym and push it. God bless

Have had pain for the last 3 year stupid doctors didn't know what I had until 2 weeks ago I had an MRI done the black man said it was ripped alittle so it hurts under my knee cap .. :))

[DeadlyStrike007]

Wow read these comment make me not want to get my surgery :((

I had this surgery done about a month ago and i am still not allowed to run, bike, walk on uneven ground such as hiking trails, or do anything that involves extreme use of the knee.... How long was it before you could be fully active again?

@islesbelarus I think it's just the way they did the surgery then.
