Message: [QUOTE="southofnorth, post: 3298706, member: 9132"] If I remember correctly, the type of surgery she got (microfracture) can take a lot longer to heal completely as the “superclot” forms the new cartilage. It can also cause pain because it’s essentially drilling small holes in the bone around the cartilage and the cartilage doesn’t always form perfectly, which can lead to pain and the need for another surgery down the line to clean things up. In any case, most surgeries require up to a year (or longer for major injuries like ACL tears) to fully heal even if they say normal recovery time is say 4-6 months or something. I’m no medical expert, but from some basic research this is the info I came up with. [/QUOTE]
