Subject: RE: running after knee scope help Hi there,
Recovery time for this surgery is highly individual. Its usually 2-3 weeks after surgery that you start walking normally but there are people who are on their feet within a week but face problems later. I had this surgery and what I found out from my treatment at orthopedic long island was that it is extremely important to do your exercises and physical therapy sessions and not procrastinate them. It is indeed painful in the beginning to even move around for long term benefits you have to bear with the pain. A grade 2 chondroplasty however isn't a much serious one and running shouldn't be an issue. After the knee is rehabilitated, running should be fine...as long as you have completed rehab (full strength and range of motion, no pain, no swelling, ...and the knee should be tested - hopping, jumping, running, lateral movements, etc ). I recommend you look into your rehab procedure to make sure you're doing everything right.
