NSR - Knee recovery question

[Maria]

Mark,
My first arthroscopic knee surgery was a breeze (right knee meniscus repair) but the 2nd one for patella tendon release was a super duper nightmare to recovery from (including waking up to a long leg cast that I could only tolerate 2 weeks vs. 8 due to low back pain upon sitting with leg sticking straight out)...

So like CL I'd say each surgery is different even if arthroscopic and depends on what was done exactly and the degree of swelling/inflammation there is on the inside going on. Use ice as ordered with knee/leg elevated and I'd see how it's going before starting the pedaling...

Hope the recovery moves along nicely after the rough patch...
