Tried long and hard to find an answer to this on the internet but couldn't. I guess knee cartilage/meniscus injuries are fairly common among cyclists. I am about 75% sure I will have to have surgery (arthroscopy), or at least that surgery is the best option. My question is: what is the waiting time on the NHS to get knee arthroscopy surgery? I am basically out of action for all physical activities indefinitely, and it's killing me not knowing how long I'll have to wait. At the moment I'm going through the motions of physiotherapy. I know I don't need physio, my knee is/was fucking strong, I can feel the muscle strength and the ligaments are back to normal too; it's just fucked up inside. I guess they just ram this physio BS down your throat to try and minimise the amount of surgery they have to pay for.
