Torn Meniscus

[Snow White]

Has anyone had surgery for this? I've had for about 2 years and the pain comes and goes. For the last month or so the pain has gotten much worse and I know surgery is inevitable. If you have had this how long did it take to recover? Did you still have leg day? I've been working legs thru this and the pain kicks in about an hour after the workout. Any insight appreciated.

my father has had both knees done and both times he had the surgery on a friday and was back working on monday. he works construction so i would say you could work legs relatively soon

Yes, I had surgery on both knees separately and I was back training my legs in 2 weeks on both occasions. Good luck and it really comes down to pain tolerance and your dedication to training.

I have half of my inside left leg Meniscus removed .
That was fifteen years ago and I always have some sort of discomfort .
However in is worst when I don't exercise .
I don't do heavy squats anymore .
