Who out there has had success with knee surgery/arthroscopy? Or did it make things worse?
I have pain caused by a meniscus issue in one knee. Currently can run with bearable amounts of pain and reduced training/performance. I'm a middle distance runner anyway and don't do high mileage.
Also have plantar fasciitis in the foot in the same leg.
ACL reconstruction. Excellent results, came back stronger than ever, has held for 30 years now. No funk in knee, squatted over 4 plates, leg-pressed over 1000lbs, world top-10 masters 100 & 200m. Downhill skiing every winter, regularly doing”fast” lol 10k runs. Not perfect, but works well.
Surgeon did me and an NHL star one after another. We kept in touch, he won the scoring title a few times afterward but said he was never exactly the same, and had further issues, eventually had to retire because of it.
My 2 cents contribution.
I had a torn meniscus shaved down and some cartilage cleaned up. No issues since. Recovery was super quick - back running in 3 weeks. How much of your meniscus is torn? They only removed 30% of mine so arthritis isn't an issue, but that may be a consideration for you
