Knee Arthroscopy Exercises

[marywu]

I had my meniscus surgery 4 days ago. Since my doctor didn’t give me any specific exercises, I dug up this video. It is very helpful!

I just had knee Arthroscopy a week ago. The only way I could’ve done those exercises on the first day, is if someone actually did them for me. The second day the pain was worst because the nerve blockers were wearing off. I had to have help getting in and out of bed for the first 3-4 days. It does get better as the days go by. I just take my time.

I had surgery almost 3 weeks ago, I was released with a paper saying how to walk and to ice, no more! I went this morning searching to find help as I have issues like some pain and stiffness and found this video. I am surprised at the information I didn’t get at the release from the hospital!! Thank you for this video, I was desperate for help, and I hope that these exercises will still help me, as I am having discomfort and felt helpless with a very tight knee. I was also never told about elevation of my leg and so on…. Thank you and God bless!

Thanks very much, very informative. I'm post op day-1 and this is much better information than my doctor/nurse had provided.

Thank you so much for doing this video. I had knee surgery 3 weeks ago and had no idea how to elevate my knee and exercise to prevent blood clots. My swelling went down tremendously after following your direction. Bless you.

This helped me more than ANY instructions I was given by the surgeon!

I had knee arthroscopy 12 days ago due to loose bodies. My knee is still swollen but I can walk already. I tried these exercises in 10 counts with 5 reps and they helped reduce my pain and stiffness. Will continue to do again tomorrow until my walking is back to normal. Thanks to these exercises.

One of the best videos that clearly explains what to do .unfortunately it’s not everyone are like you and explain what to do when you are out of surgery.
All they say is rest and ice and elevation.
My knee is swollen and it doesn’t go down that easy.
So I am doing your exercises.
Thank you

Meniscus repair this week. Surgeon said no pt needed. I'm suspicious so looked you up and will def be doing these exercises so my knee gets strong again. Thank you so much!

Over a month ago I had sepsis due to a Cortisone shot that went bad then had to have arthroscopy to get the pus and bacteria removed. There may have been some miniscus trouble as well. No one at the hospital or rehab center showed me any of these exercies. I've been doing all right but want to do much better. Thank you for this video with its clear, simple instructions. I know this will be a help to me.

I'm one week post op, and they gave me no excursuses. I actually had to call the surgeon's office to ask if it was normal to have major swelling and dark purple on my thigh. Thank you for these exercises, it's much appreciated! )

I’ve had five knee scopes . Filth one just recently. Started leg raises immediately after surgery. Started immediately trying to put some pressure on the knee with use of crutches. On third day short walks in the house being careful to turn cautiously. Ankle rotation, slightly bending knee as pain allows. Then rehab at a local office. The quicker you start exercise’s the better. This helps stretch the muscles and keep them working properly. You will see it makes things easier.

I had a small meniscus tear in my left leg. I had surgery this morning. This was great information!! Thank you. I have saved this to work on at home. I am doing ankle circles because of the blood clot situation. I was told about taking aspirin only. Thank you❤️💯💪🙌

Had right knee done Wednesday and today is Friday....started my exercises. Knee bends thank God.

We live in Portugal and I just had an athroscopic surgery to right knee. We had an amazing experience but the post-op instructions are in Portuguese and are slightly daunting. Having seen your video now was very very helpful and I am glad I found it. Thank you for putting the efforts in to show others like us far abroad how to manage the exercises. 👏💪👍

I’m grateful for your video. Meniscus surgery a week and a half ago. My surgical nurse gave me standard exercises to do, but on paper with images. No clarity about how to do them or gradually add a new exercise as days went on. Too much hip muscle strain left me with irritated hip muscles.
Your video gave me a clear option, and I’m feeling no hip strain. Feeling less knee pain. Thank you.

My surgeon didn’t give me exercises. It’s been 12 days. I can walk without crutches. I can bend my knee but it sure hurts after a long day. Getting in the tub shower hurts in the morning. It feels very tight inside. Swelling is better. No one had mentioned these darn compression socks! Hate hate hate! 2 more days! Still icing and still elevating a bit.

I had my scope on 3/17. Day 3 was the worst for me. I started physical therapy on Monday. But the way you show and explain your exercises is great! Mornings are definitely the worst stiff as a board. Sleeping was pretty difficult until I came across a video on here about where to place pillows between your legs to make it more comfortable to sleep.

Thanks for these exercises it is very helpful for me. I'm on my one week post operation not started exercise just a little bit walking now will start the way you showed my here

Good video. My doctor never told me any of those. He just asked me to be back at his clinic after 2 weeks. It is 3 weeks post op and ive been watching exercises of youtube. At first, i couldnt straigthen my leg but 3 days after the surgery ive been trying to extend it. Now i can fully extend. My problem now is i can only bend my knee 135°. Ive been working it out though. Still on crutches, cant walk without it as the op spot is still painful.
