Anyone had this done?...wondering what to expect in terms of recovery.... I had my right knee done yesterday....the only cause of the damage that I can think of is thumping a few zydeco gigs on my 22x20 unmiked kick....everyone else miked/amped.....which was another topic/post....felt like kicking concrete....time to go back to bop!

I knew a fellow worker who had that done. He didn't miss much work, so it couldn't have been too bad. ;)

had this done about 15 years ago for a torn meniscus .  It's about 6 - 8 weeks of rehab then about a year or so before you feel "right" again.  It still acts up now and then and I can predict rain.  You should be fine
