I believe it was about 6 weeks. I think gaining strength in my body helps keep the knee issue controlled. And, learning what aggravates it. Certain things aggravate it and I just don’t do them….like riding stationary bike. Tried it multiple times and it’s a problem. No more. And, walking too much on an outdoor track in a certain direction used to aggravate it, but that’s improved. I can do more of that now. Lastly, I haven’t been able to run, even on the treadmill. When I try, it acts up. I may give it another shot soon just to see. I love running. Sigh. But, I’m grateful I can do daily workouts most days pain free. I was told surgery would not guarantee me that. In fact, my brother who is 11 years younger than me had meniscus surgery and has more pain flares than I do. His surgery was last year.
