A member asked:
I had knee arthroscopy (cleaned up my cartilage) 14 days ago and still can't walk without crutches. should i be worried? does this sound like something went wrong during surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This is a longer than average recovery period, but not necessarily serious or an indication of a problem during surgery. Obviously this is a question for the doctor who did the procedure. Good luck.
