Hi all, I am new to this forum. I wonder if anyone could help. I have had a inner meniscus repair just about 5 weeks ago. I do have to highlight that I don't remember injuring myself in the first place and it all started with sudden pain, swelling and inflammation in the knee joint. I have then (after about a week and two steroid injection) had an MRI where I've been told I have torn my meniscus and will need an arthroscopy, which i have had an meniscus tear was repaired. My recovery went well, as with two small children I "just got on with it". I felt great until a few day ago when my knee swell up again and due to that I am unable to bend my knee again and taking stairs down is causing some more pain again (it is just in the area where the swelling is). Has anyone have this experience of a "flare up"? My physical activity was very much back to normal and I can't say I did anything to induce the swelling. Should I give it some time or contact my doctor? Rest or exercise? Thank you.
