A member asked:

Would if be okay to run a lot after surgery for a torn meniscus?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, but do as your: Surgeon tells you. Once healing is complete, you can resume training. Almost all athletes do so but after proper training and after clearance from the surgeon. Premature return can result in serious injury and would delay the return to all physical activities. So heed your orthopod's advise.
