Knee investigative key hole surgery

Has anyone had key hole surgery to their knee (for investigating knee pain)?

If so, how much time off work did it require?

I had a knee arthroscopy. They said 2 weeks on crutches but it was actually a lot less painful than I anticipated. most of the second week was only using the crutch when out of the house, mostly so people gave me more of a wide berth and didn’t knock into me. I was back to work after the 2 weeks.

Yes, but it was a while ago - an arthroscopy- they fixed the issue when I’m there rather than just investigate as I’d already had an MRI.
. It took a week to recover but I wasn’t working at the time as had a baby. I did have a bit of pain still for a while after (up until my post op check) but it eventually healed. I should imagine recovery time depends on the problem but I was hobbling round the house ok once the GA had worn off. No crutches.
