Follow doctors orders is my best advice.
However.........I've had arthroscopic surgery on both knees. Each time to remove a meniscus tear. The latest one was done by a sports oriented orthopaedic surgeon who's mantra is "let pain be your guide." With those orders, I walked out of the day hospital the day of surgery and ran a (slow) mile on day 7.
Joan Benoit-Samuelson WON the first US Women's Marathon Trial 17 days after arthroscopic knee surgery. I've met her and she is tough. Look up the word in the dictionary. You'll see her picture there.
Good luck in your recovery and don't push it.
