I recently had surgery on my left knee to replace a broken off lesion due to OCD. Because a piece of bone actually broke off and floated around in my knee, my miniscus was almost completely torn. I was on crutches for 6wks following surgery and am now walking wearing an unloader brace. I still have quite a bit of pain and swelling although my surgeon says I am progressing very well. He is very hesitant to say if I will be able to run again. I also have some degeneration in that knee. I completely lost this tri season and want to continue with my love of triathlon.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Are you running again? Is so how long after surgery before you resumed running? Are you still experiencing pain and swelling?
I would really like to hear from others who have gone through a similar experience.
