Training after surgery for a meniscal tear!!!
ad
Hi Eroiders, has anyone ever had surgery (arthroscopy) on a meniscal tear? and how has it affected training? I had surgery 1.5 years ago on my right knee and my leg has never been the same. Had surgery on my left knee 3 weeks ago and Im still recovering. I have'nt been confident enough to heavy squat or Lunge since the first surgery. I really just want to know are my heavy Leg training days over? My specialist who is a real optimistic fucker seems to think so.

I had mine in july last year was back in gym doing light leg press a week later..
I continued rehabbing hard against physio/surgeons instructions.. Started stretching alot, was back doing legs hard in october and been fine since
Just keep on it bro, do whatever leg exercises you can do with minimal pain.. low ass weight(Machine leg press, smith squats etc) let machines take most of the load for you and slowly work yourself back into heavier weights/free weight exercises..
Personally once i could use leg extension pain free, under heavy load.. that's when i brought freeweight exercises back into the game
Stretch alot too man, alot.. Hope this helps brother.. feel free to pm us
