Back in October, I'm pretty sure I tore a meniscus when I twisted my knee while downclimbing something. I had all the symptoms, and to this day, there is the functionality but the constant ache in the right spot symptomatic of a meniscus tear.
Like the typical man, I have so far failed to go see a doctor, pretending that things would take care of themselves, but it's time to be realistic.
So here's my question to anyone who has had a meniscus tear: after the surgery, how long did it take until your knee was fully functional again?
I ask this because the earliest I'll get in for surgery will be sometime in January, more likely February, and I am planning a hiking/climbing trip for early April. Right now, I am okay with moderate hiking and climbing (haven't pushed it past that). The next time after that I'll seriously need my knee will be in mid-July.
Any good feedback is much appreciated.
