After tearing my meniscus I had to get a repair surgery as I had a bucket handle tear. Afterward he told me my knee was stable and that I didn’t need a brace but I needed to be non weight bearing for 6 weeks. After those six weeks he told me that I will be able to start walking and then after another month or month and a half I will be able to go back to soccer. I’m sure that this varies case to case but doesn’t this seem a bit unrealistic considering the severity of my injury?

I am about three weeks post op from my meniscus repair surgery and I was told to be none weight bearing for six weeks. While I have followed this as best I can there has been one or two instances where a little weight was put on my knee. I’ve never heard anything like this before and it just started after sitting down and putting a little weight on it by accident. I’ve also seen a lot of conflicting stories about this sort of thing so I was wondering if anyone knows what’s happening. Also if there is a device failure will I have to restart?
