Playing sports 8 days post-surgery

[mmss22]

Hi, I had arthroscopic surgery for a torn meniscus in my right knee 8 days ago. I have a basketball game that I really want to play in today. Am I able to play?

I also have a friend who broke his nose in a game, but returned just several minutes later. If he can do it, why can't I?

I think this counts as soliciting medical advice, which is a no-no on these forums.

If Brandon Roy can do it, why can't you?

Basically whatever others have said above.

Can I have your autograph? And maybe a couple of hundred G's? Then I'll give you sound medical advice, Mr. Roy.

Could you get me Manu's autograph too?

Haha, you figured me out. But it's pretty crazy that someone can play 8 days after surgery. You don't hear normal people doing that.

These playoffs have been crazy thus far. And it's only the first round!

Ya, it's pretty crazy. I do hope he doesn't have any long-term side effects.

NBA playoffs are just great to watch: I love this game.

Well, this joke clearly went right over my head. Shows how much I know about sports....
