They had to drain a large amount of blood from swelling on my knee a few weeks after the surgery. And I didn't have full range of motion for quite some time. And even now, i have 2 or 3 days a year where my knee hurts like hell for no particular reason. I was still young and in shape and weighed about 175lb at the time.
Speaks almost definitely has a better surgeon, and may bounce back in a few weeks, but it may not be a given.

Yeah, I guess it all comes down to how much they have to repair. My surgeon is definitely considered one of the best in town. There’s a multiple people at my job that had repairs done by him and was highly recommended.
I went back to work after two weeks with no restrictions.
