Had the scope to the right knee six years ago, early 40s. Doc said he even had to scrape some of the femur (but overall, not a big job). He said he was in there 12 minutes.

Rehab will help immensely, but don't overdo the comeback too soon. Mine feels better each year, it seems. I attribute that to the Michael Jordan low-mileage theory. Doc told me road running was definitely out so now it's treadmills, ellipticals, exer bikes -- and (doc-recommended) glucosamin chondroitin.

Glucosamine, huh...interesting. Will have to look into that. Thanks for the tip.

I have a friend who injured his 3-4 years ago, came back too early, and has still not recovered fully.

So when in doubt, play it safe.

Yeah...couldn't run right now if I had to. Been two weeks and it's still swollen. Can't see it being that much better in two weeks.
