I had arthroscopic knee surgery for degenerative tear of the medial meniscus and radial tear of the lateral meniscus and outerbridge grade 4 degenerative joint disease of medial compartment and synovial hypertrophy. it has been 2 months and I still have severe pain on stairs. is this normal and what are the chances that I will recover?
Usually it's not possible to have knee pain after arthroscopic repair I suggest to check with another orthopedic doctor Or the same doctor and go for MRI scan of affected knee joint to confirm there is no extra damage. If still there is a damage present in a joint then take the opinion from orthopedic doctor as well also visit a physiotherapist. He can help you with different physiotherapy treatment as well as exercise Which will help to get some relief from pain. You can also use hot and cold pack at home frequently and regularly to have some more anti-inflammatory as well as relaxing and healing effect on your soft tissues and joint. Take care.
