Has anyone here had it done on their knee? I'm curious what the realistic time frame was before you were able to hop back in the pool and swim. I'm thinking once the wounds heal I might be able to do some nonkicking swimming, but I'd be interested to hear about anyone who has firsthand experience.

Thanks for the replys...I'm really nervous about being inactive a month...that thought keeps me awake at night. I thrive on exercise.
It is basically an exploratory surgery with the thought that there must be a bone fragment or cartilage flap stuck up underneath my kneecap that the xrays and MRI didn't show. I first had intensive pain back in October and it hasn't gone away. My primary sport is cycling, and it hurts like hell to do that. It was first diagnosed as bursitis since it was painful when the joint area was even lightly touched! I got cortisone injections, went to accupuncture, did physical therapy, and rested it for a month but it never went away. So, they want to go in and look and hopefully find something that is causing me this pain.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed...and my toes, and my eyes.
