I had surgery almost 3 years ago to repair my miniscus and ACL - I worked my ass off post-op but developed a very stiff knee. I was on crutches for months and limping for about 2 years. I had a scope done a year after the surgery that helped but even then my knee is still not perfect. On some days I still have a limp. The good news is I am back playing sports - but the knee hurts like heck the day after.

So overall my experience wasn't good. It was frustrating, long and painful despite the fact I did everything I was supposed to do and more.

Good luck with it though. Most of the surgeries go very smoothly.
