No surfing?
Mate lets say surfing is very unenjoyable atm sadly, unable to do much without the pain some would say nothing has changed

Mac. I get this feeling this is going to go on and on until you get the surgery done

You maybe right here unfortunately, the surgeon is the best are and I was surprised when he said lets give it 8 weeks,I'm now 3 weeks in and my Physio also top of his game said this is no good re book an appointment with the surgeon who was giving you every chase to avoid the operation, walking my daughter down the ail in 3 weeks so there was noway I could have anything done until this was completed.
Bugger. How Long is that now? The meniscus is a pretty quick recovery. You should be walking a week after it. The longer you leave it the harder your rehab will be. My biggest problem post op was loss of mobility and strength as it was ruined for months before I got it fixed.
Surfing or anything weight bearing with impact is going to hurt. I'm surprised they said it was fine if they thought it would heal. I kept Surfing but mine was buggered anyway so I couldn't do any more damage and it didnt really cause any pain.
I asked my doc about avoiding surgery and he said only a small number will be able to avoid the op as it is cartlige and isn't great at repairing itself. My tear was too far gone and op was the only option. Glad I got it done, feels heaps better.
Good luck with it. It's a frustrating one.
