Last summer in 2020 I torn the menscius in my right knee and this prevented me from hiking all summer and fall. It was just too painful. I gave it months to heal on its own but it never quite did. So 2 weeks ago on April 2 — I had arthroscopy to resect the tear. I am now in recovery and doing my PT religiously. I hope so much to be able to resume hiking this spring and perhaps just perhaps even get back up my old friend Deso. : )
