A member asked:
I had my meniscus repaired 6 days ago and seem to be getting conflicting advice on whether to walk without crunches possible with a limp elevate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Repaired or removed: Depends. If removal can weight bear as tolerated and get rid of crutches when able. If repaired, different story. Takes at least 6 weeks to heal. Must limit the amount of bending. Must use brace. Crutches for the first few weeks.
