How Long Will It Take To Recover From Operation To Remove Cartilage From Knee?
I had a scope operation to remove cartilage from an otherwise perfect knee 2 weeks ago. I was wondering should it still be uncomfortable right now? Its not that sore but I m wondering after 2 weeks should it have no pain and no stiffness in it. Its uncomfortable, i can walk fine but i get a little pain when i do.

hi,
as you mentioned you had difficulty in walking and get little pain. You need to focus on strengthening the quadriceps muscle. Also there is a specific exercises called vmo and it will help further more. Also, try performing slow reverse walking as it will strengthen the lower 1/3 of the muscle and keep the joint space maintened. I hope to see you well soon with the exercises.
with the grace of God I wish you a speedy recovery
