Orthopedists: what can i expect after an arthroscopy?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Post surgery: Swelling is the most common symptom after any arthroscopic procedure. Local warmth can also be expected. Your limits of what you can do are based on what surgery you had. A good rule of thumb is the anesthetic will have an effect in you for a day or two after surgery, so do not plan anything major to do the day after surgery.

Scope: Agree with dr daugherty, also pain, stiffness, and soreness for a few weeks. Discuss risks with your orthopedic surgeon.
