Knee Surgery Question

This last spring I had a knee scoped (torn meniscus). It is now July and it still gets really sore after I leisurely for a while. The next day the pain is gone, no swelling but then after a walk the pain is back....Any thoughts would be appreciated.
 
Are you wearing a brace when you are walking to help stabilize it. With mine I would be fine for a month. Then I would have some pain and would have to wear brace for week and take anti-inflammatory medication for 3 days. Always wore brace when hunting or hiking to help stabilize it.
 
I haven't been wearing a brace. Do you have any pictures of the brace you wear or recommendations on one. I would really appreciate it.

Hmmm. I've had both A.C.L.'S replaced and one meniscus repair. It's been about 35 and 25 years since. I'm just now having some pain oddly in the most recent one. The best braces will be the ones that hinge in the knee with solid braces on the sides, but I don't think that will solve it after that long. I'd be talking to your doctor. If they say they've done all they can do see about getting some serious anti-inflammatory like Meloxicam or Celebrex. Stay away from pain pills unless it gets really bad. Good luck.
 
I messed my knee-up about 10-days ago. Never went to the Dr., but for a few days walking was an issue. It has been getting better that last couple days, still no extra walking and up and down stairs are a slow affair. I have been hoping I am healed-up well befor the opener. The one that I am having the issue with, I had considered as my "good one". It isn't all fun getting older.

I'm not sure what scoped means. Was it repaired or just looked at?
I was diagnosed with a radial tear of my meniscus, for a short term fix they gave me a shot of cortisone. I have been pain free for about 18 months now. The doc says the tear will not fix itself but what the heck it feels good.
