I'm up against the deadlines, but have been diagnosed with a meniscus tear that I hope is minor. I'll be starting PT in a couple weeks, hoping the problem can be solved without surgery.
My question, for those who have been there or know someone well who has been there; are the odds good that I'll be recovered in time for the season? Worst case scenario, by January?

SNAQ, I have had more knee surgeries than I care to remember!! So here is my exerperienced yet non medical professional opinion: It depends! HA
Miniscus tears are generally not that big a deal. IMO, if you act now (sorry had an infomercial on) you should be fine by January at the latest. Baring any complications, it would be anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks. If you want more info, feel free to send me a message and I will give you any more info I can.
MOST IMPORTANTLY is post op rehab. Some Ortho's. are not big with it and I have no idea why. Make sure to ask your Ortho for physical therapy, if they won't refer you then have your GP/Fam. Doc do it. If you can find a place with a pool for aquatic therapy that is the best!!
Let me know if you need any more info.
