I had a tear in the meniscus which went all the way through. Had arthroscopic surgery a week ago today (9/28/06) and my knee felt good after the operation for 3 days; then I felt stiffness and pain. Should I be on it as much as possible OR take it easy and ice it? How long will this last. I am afraid of falling. When I go back for 2 week checkup I will have to use walker as I am afraid this knee will buckle on me. I have pain pills but don't need them. It is just the stiffness AND, pain now and then that bothers me. I wobble when I walk.
