4 months surgery post, 3 months re Hab, (sucks). It will will will hurt and be very sore. They grind, saw, put screws in, glue, and cut! It ain’t gonna be healed in 3 months folks, unless you are doped up. That works too, good luck going to the bathroom? Pick a good therapist, you will hate it, no pain no gain. My knee is still sensitive, a little sore and grindy at times, but only counter drugs if need. I was told by someone in the know, 6 months, then you will be happy, not 8 weeks! I had Burger from Rush do mine, the best, minimal invasive surgery, his own parts design and technique. Still sucked! Ice ice ice ice, walk walk walk, hard therapy, snd good pain meds. No pain, no gain. It’s no fun. But, better than constant knee bone on bone.
