hi garden

I had a full emergency meniscectomy in France last September whilst on holiday. Pre-op I saw both the anaesthetist and the cardiologist and asked them not to use any adrenaline containing products.

I had absolutely no problems at all with Afib either during the op or after. Regaining full range of movement at the knee however took time and effort, with a strict daily exercise routine.

Best of luck.
