It has been 12 weeks post op for my meniscus root repair. My knee still swell up after a long walk. Just want to check in with you to see how is your recovery? At how many weeks post op were you allowed to run? Do you still have any swelling or pain on your knee? Are you back to full activity by now. Thank you! AnhI was allowed to start running 4 months after surgery. It was supposed to be 16 weeks, and we waited an extra week (I think) because it was still a bit uncomfortable. It took me 7 more weeks of gradual progression before I ran 10k without any walk breaks, and then I promptly got a sacral stress fracture, which sucked and is a whole other discussion. So I am not back to full activity, but itÂ’s because of that.
The knee is ok. It feels fine for normal daily activities and doesnÂ’t hold back my training, but itÂ’s not back to the way it was. I canÂ’t kneel/squat fully on it, and it gets a little achy after bike rides and strength sessions sometimes. I hope it eventually returns to normal, but I guess IÂ’ll see.
On the bright side, my swim has improved a lot.
