Glad to hear all went well, Tom. I had that done about ten years ago (I'm 39), and it didn't fix squat. Did some research and found out that the arthoscopy is commonly overdone by Drs want to make a buck. Eventually, all my knee problems went away with a set of $300 custom orthotic inserts for my shoes. Turns out, I was walking too much on the outside of my foot and it was misaligning my knee making it hurt during long walks. Still use those inserts today and never had a knee problem since.

I tell people that story because I want them to look into the orthotic inserts for their shoes prior to the knee surgery. Get up and walk, Tom - you're healed!
