I had that done also. They took out my meniscus. I walked in barely able to put weight on my knee, I WALKED out. No pain, just take it easy for a few days. Do as I say not as I do. The 2 days after surgery I went out to take pictures of some flowers, tripped over a root and landed on that knee. I yelled to my husband, "I've fallen and I can't get up." The only thing that happened was to break open one of the incisions. I washed it, put a bandaid on it and iced it. I am a klutz.
