I had a meniscus tear repair done Nov 6. I didn't know that it would heal without surgery since I had suffered over a year with pain and inflammation:( anyway now I'm trying to recover and seems like nothing is helping. The surgeon told me to start therapy a week later so I saw the therapist at 10 days post surgery. He said it was too swollen to do much. He did give me exercises and said to use the exercise bike which I'm doing some. Then different ones encouraged me to go to water therapy and so I started that too. I must have overdid it or something because the next day my swelling was way worse (my one knee was inch and half bigger than the good one). I try to put ice on a few times a day but doesn't seem to really help. I found this site and maybe you can help me. We have spent so much money already and hessitate to try anything new but I'm getting desperate. We paid for surgery, I've been on prescription meds etc. Would the cold/cure knee wrap be enough to bring my inflammation down? Should I be doing any exercises the way it is? I'm not very old yet and have been very active. Would sure like to be well by spring Please reply thank you.
