I've had a fucked up knee since before I started dancing. It was swollen, and I always had this dull, nagging pain in my kneepit (I just had to take the opportunity to use that word) and it was really difficult bend/straighten my leg. I had surgery in June, and after a few weeks I started to feel a lot better. My physical therapist ok'd me returning to work. I still couldn't bear much weight on the knee, so kneeling on stage was very difficult. One night, I was sitting on a bar stool talking to a customer. I stood up and had this sharp, excruciating pain where they removed the cartilage. Ever since then, my knee has been in consistent pain. I've already seen my surgeon and she's afraid I've torn it again. The icing on the cake is I'm now having similar pre-surgery pain in my non-surgery knee.
So my question is: has anyone else successfully returned to dancing after a meniscectomy?
