I saw the Orthopedic surgeon today, three weeks after an arthroscopy, and now I must wait another three weeks before returning to running! A little disappointed, but as he explained, though surgery takes only about 30 minutes and my recovery is excellent, the surgery itself is still quite big. It was a large tear in the medial meniscus and needed to be cut out, not repaired. So....patience is the way to go for now, later jogging on grass and after six weeks, all being well, I should be able to return to hard surfaces.
Good to see you're following doctor's orders, just as I would. 3 weeks now is nothing in the scheme of things.
