JK... What I meant is I had arthroscopic surgery for a torn meniscus, moderate arthritis on tibia and under kneecap, and some torn cartilage inside knee. Was supposed to take care of pain until eventual TKR 5 to 10 years out. Did not resolve issue, though. Standard PT, some pain relief, but not nearly enough. 5 Supartz injections, voltaren gel, meloxicam, and finally cortisone injection that lasted all of 51 hours convinced me to bite the bullet and do the replacement (11 months after initial procedure). I got my timeline wrong in the earlier post. It’s now almost 7 weeks (not 9), and I’m already feeling better than I ever did with the first surgery. Nothing to do with scar tissue, though.
