Arthroscopy on knee

inkster

Hi all,

I am new to this site and have joined hoping for help, advice and guidance from anybody that has had a Arthroscopy while having Osteoarthritis? as I have a total rear / medial meniscus root tear which sometimes locks and gives me a lot of pain at the back of my knee.

I am only 52 years old. I think I need a partial knee replacement?

Hello @inkster and welcome to the community. We are a friendly and supportive group and I hope that that will be your experience as well.

I understand that you have Osteoarthritis and that you are suffering from knee pain. Have you had the Arthroscopy or waiting for it?

Our website has a lot of information and a useful search function and you might find some useful information in it, I've pasted a couple of links below which may be of help.

Please do keep posting and let us know how you are getting on and I am sure others will connect with you and share their experiences as well, and about the arthroscopy procedure. The NHS website has an article on this which might help.
