HI All,
I am 47 years old, 240 lbs, 5'11", had arthroscopic knee surgery first week in June for a torn meniscus. Been going to physical therapy since (and a little before the surgery). Stairs still hurt a bit (both going up and down). But I really want to start playing doubles tennis again.
Looking to play next week, where it will be exactly 6 weeks and 1 day after the surgery. Am I crazy? I asked the physical therapist, and she said, be careful, but give it a try to see how the knee does, and ice it afterwards and take ibuprofen.
What say you all? Thanks!
