Post right knee arthroscopy

I’m day 11 after a knee arthroscopy for a torn meniscus and arthritis scraping. No improvement, still using crutches, and painful. Anyone else who has had this experience?

Hi @sloops and welcome. It can be disappointing to not notice improvement almost 2 weeks post arthroscopy. You'll notice that I moved your question to this existing discussion about knee arthroscopy. I did this so you can connect with other members like @cmartz. You may also be interested in reading this discussion:

Did your surgeon give you a timeline for when you should start to see improvement in the pain level and be able to ditch the crutches?

I’m 6 weeks post op arthroscopic knee surgery. Meniscus and ACL repair. Just able to put weight on and walk. From what I’ve dealt with you might be on crutches for a while! It’s a 2 step forward one step back deal.
