Arthroscopic Meniscus Surgery

I have decided to write a daily post to follow my progress of my arthroscopic knee surgery and recovery.  I have had problems with my knee when I run since 2002.  I saw an orthopedic then and they said I probably tore my meniscus but to lay off running and that it might get better without surgery.  Well  last year it started acting up again and has not stop hurting when I run. After getting an MRI it was confirmed that I had a torn meniscus as well as a possible cyst.  My band was in the middle of recording a record this past year so I have put off the surgery until this Tuesday July 14th.  I am excited that I am finally getting this taken care of and I am looking forward to working hard through the rehab.
