Anyone had it to fix a cartilage tear?

If so what was your recovery time? I hear it is at most 2 to 3 weeks. Sound about right?

not from personal experience, but from clients: i've seen people have the surgery and bounce back quickly...i've seen people have the surgery 2-3 times and still have complaints.

i think you mean arthroscopy. orthoscopy is looking at the eye

carry on

The only times i've seen these turn out well is when repairing a torn tendon.
never even heard stories about people getting better after an attempted cartilage or bone repair, unless it was after some terrible accident.

Best I can tell, you're better off doing physical therapy than ever going under the knife if at all possible
