I had an authroscoptic surgery done yesterday. It is outpatient and takes about 45 minutes. The doctor uses a scope to look in there and clean it up. I had a torn maniscus. Takes about 5 to ten days to get better. I go back to see him on march 6th. I have to Ice my knee every hr and keep it elevated. My Mother had knee replacement when she was 96 yrs old and did good. She will be 102 in august. Don't be afraid but make sure you have a good doctor and do everything they tell you after surgery. Bless You!
