meniscus surgery

[psusoccer17]

I need to have surgery on my knee(meniscus) for anyone who has had this done, how long was your recovery, could you still do all the impact after your recovery? I've never had a knee problem and am concerned I won't be able to return to the level of fitness I was prior to the injury. Any helpful advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I had the same surgery about three years ago and I am so happy I had it done. I wasn't able to complete any workouts due to the pain about 30 minutes in. I started working out a little to soon after surgery, but I quickly returned to normal, or actually better, since I wasn't able to to workout like I wanted because of the pain.
I highly suggest you listen to the doctor and do not start exercising until you are fully recovered.
Hope that helps and good luck!
