Hi I am having my knee scoped next month because I have torn cartlidge and a pea size piece floating around in my knee. I am wondering how long after that surgery is done that I can have the other knee operated on. Both knees require surgery. I am 61 yrs old

Hello,

Eight to twelve weeks will be the standard recovery time. After that you can start physiotherapy. Consult a psychiatrist and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
