Knee Surgery

Well I can't walk properly, can't walk fast, can't do any sports. That should be enough shouldn't it? If the NHS don't offer treatment then I'll have to go private and get the woman's insurance to pay.

You'd think so wouldn't you! If you've got an MRI booked then at least they're taking it seriously, when you've got the results you can weigh up the options. If you definately want surgery work out your arguments in advance (can't work, can't drive, chronic pain, depressed etc).

Recovering from surgery is when the slow recovery begins tho. 9 months after surgery its my meniscus rather than the ACL that causes most bother if I walk too much or lift heavy in the gym.

Good news is, cycling was the least painful exercise to do. I was back on my bike - gently! - 6weeks after surgery.
