TweetYou could go back in 3 days or 4 weeks. Depends on the job and the surgery. What do you do? I just had a scope 4 weeks ago. I am back at work as of Tuesday. But I just wanted to take it easy and also I do Electrical Maintenance so it is pretty hard on the knees at times. My scope was for a cyst, torn cartlidge and meniscus. Also had some bone fragment that had to be cleaned up behind the knee cap. Good luck with the recovery. I am squatting 100 lbs and working my way up from there. Just take it easy...
