Pink Fairy Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 My dd has a meniscal cyst, and probably a torn meniscus. The radiologist said it needs to come out, because although he's 99.9% sure it's a meniscal cyst, there's a small chance it could be malignant. We'll have our follow-up appointment with the sports medicine doctor on Monday, but I want to know more now.:tongue_smilie: If you or your child/spouse have had this surgery, how was it pain-wise and recovery-wise? Really, anything you can tell me about it would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbmamaz Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 i've been thinking about this a lot recently - its definitely a much faster recovery than it used to be before when they cut the whole knee open. ONe friend had a torn meniscus, but also a torn ACL, so that made her recovery longer. She was back in martial arts class in about 4 months but with a brace - but again, thats because of her other injury, not the meniscus - that part should be fast i have a knee injury from February too (the week before hers) but I dont have tears in either . . but i'm still not better. Once my swelling goes down (again - i have to STOP getting out and walking again when i start to feel better) . . . i will probably get a scope surgery . . . the recovery cant possibly be longer than what i've been through already, so I'm really looking forward to it! I hope your daughter's surgery is quick and easy and successful with a quick recovery! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
