I tore my meniscus at wvu camp, and am going to have arthroscopic surgery soon, has anyone had this happen? how long before i can back into training do you think?

I had arthoscopic surgery for a torn ligament and it took me about four months to get back on the mat.
Mark Perry from UIowa had arthroscopic done for a torn meniscus and he was back in about five weeks and won nationals.

I tore my meniscus 2nd match of my senior season and had it operated on two days later and was back on the mat practicing 2 weeks later and competed that Thursday.
Since this is the off season, if I were you I would recommend having it repaired and not removed.
