I am now 6 weeks post - op. Posterior, lateral repair. I just got the brace off fully. I say fully due to the last week around the house I have walked gingerly w out it.

My foot feels disconnected, there is a numb feeling to it. It is doing everything a foot can do, lifts, circles, but it and part of ankle as well as a little bit up my leg it feels numbish.

Is that common ? I haven't seen others say that really . I didn't think to say anything at the doctor's due to assuming it would go away. I have had little to no pain at all through this whole thing.

I feel fortunate, as I had a posterior lateral meniscus tear. Beside when it would catch I had no issues prior to repair. Initially they were only planning to trim, but more damage was there than anticipated.

Since the surgery, I have been WBAT, allowed to have unlocked when sitting at a 90° until fully healed at 6 weeks.

I am 5 and a half weeks post op.

Now, all of a sudden I am getting these sharp pains directly behind my knee cap. Those that have had the surgery and not much pain , did you get pain later as you regained full use. Is the use of my knee over the next few weeks going to be painful ?
