Hi Tam
Hope you are doing ok. I have had three arthroscopies and none of them took that long at all to get over, probably a few days. Everyone is different though. With the driving, again, everyone is different but I would say when you feel confident enough.
All the best for a speedy recovery,

Hi Tam.
I had a synovectomy back in the mid 90's. Recovery period depends on you really.
One bit of advice i wish i had followed back then.
Make sure you keep that leg moving through it's full range all the time. Do not allow it to fuse like mine did through sitting around too much and not doing the Physio like i should have.
You will have a quicker recovery and a better future if you do this...
Best of luck to you mate..
