Partial Meniscectomy

[DiveNav]

Hi,
today I had my knee surgery (Partial Meniscectomy) and I was wondering how long should I wait before returning to diving (the real one .... I can always virtual dive from home ).

Thanks

Did you ask your doctor what he thought? I had mine done on June 18th and was in the pool for my OW classes on the 28th, then July 4th for the open water portion. They were dives in a quarry and I put my gear on in the water. I look back now and realize that it was probably stupid to rush it. My doctor said it was ok to dive as long as I didn't have stitches but I'd go with whatever your doctor says since he knows you and your knee better than anyone

Hi,
so far he said that I should not touch the water (including taking a shower) till Sunday.
Then no swimming in the pool until he removes my stitches next Friday :depressed:

I need my nitrox fix!!!
