Last time I saw you, you looked like you were in pretty good shape!

I Suspect I have a meniscus tear as well. I rekt my knee subbing for a buddy bowling one time. Didn't know I did it till the next day when it was all swollen (almost bowled a 300 that night!).

My brother is trying to get me to bowl, I'm like nah, can't.

He's like, but you golf all the time.

Golfing don't bother me though, it's squats that get me, and when you bowl, you basically do a 1 leg squat every shot (if you want to get low enough to roll the ball).

I just refuse to change my style that would most likely make me a sh1tty bowler.

I can still do pretty much anything that doesn't require squatting. I have no problem running either even with 2 dogs pulling on me.

I just stiff leg, bend and fire. At first it was messy, now I'm shooting about 85 percent.

Well, I finally pulled the trigger and had the scope surgery last week.

Started walking on it (limping) after 24 hours and walked a mile after 3 days. Had my 1st PT session yesterday and I expect to be back being active as soon as the stitches come out next week. Feels pretty good so far but I have to regain some lost range of motion in that knee.

You'll be glad you did it when you regain *most* of the flexibility you had before the tears

I had right knee meniscectomy 30 years ago. Was way better post-surg for years and years.

My orthopod told me "you're going to get arthritis in that knee, but don't blame me. You'd get arthritis anyway." He was right. I'll have TKR someday, but I can still hike, golf, drink beer and smoke cigars, so that can wait.

Awesome!!! I've actually been bowling since I last saw this thread. I wore a brace and walked away without any pain.

I don't plan on surgery at the moment, but I also don't plan on joining any leagues any time soon, but I'll definitely be following this to see how it all works out for you guys...

I have a feeling I'll probably have to do my knee at some point in the future.

Yep. I'm in the same boat. The surgeon says I am not a candidate for TKR but probably will get there some day unless I get hit by a beer truck first.

LOL. Your knees will still be able to respond to your cat-like reflexes.

Played full round of golf 15 days after having right knee scoped first time for meniscus tear.

The round of golf was relatively pain free compared to what the therapist was doing to the knee three times a week.

I hear that. I'm walking 2 miles without pain but the PT is NOT pain free.
