Poor you.  Been there and done that...twice.  All in the same knee.  The other one is not much better.  Don't know if I can cheer you up much.  Since it took me a long time to recover.  Be sure to do your therapy....DON"T CHEAT !!!!!  It will make a difference.  I am post op (the last time) nearly 6 years now.  It will never been "right", but it works.  As long as I can ride, and I still can trot the horse out...I'm fine.  But as soon as they will let you ride, I really think that the conditioning on the horse strengthened my knee/support tendons. 

 

Good Luck.... and take the pain medicine.  At about 7 hours, the stuff that they inject in the joint to help with pain when they send you home...it wears off.  Had I been a rat....I would have chewed that leg off.

I know there are many of you out there who have had this done...I'm currently 7 hours post op repair of same   Also had my right carpal tunnel release done at the same time, so I'm a total gimp on the right side, LOL.  I'm surprised that I'm actually able to walk on it - slooowly and carefully, but moving around none the less.  Please send me knee humor or knee tales to keep me going til I'm back in the saddle again
