the likes of you and I
I've had 2 arthroscopies on my left knee (one with microfracture to try and stimulate cartilage growth but that didn't work). One on my right knee to do a washout and confirm that my right knee is slightly less hosed, but still hosed.

Recovery was surprisingly horrible, as I recall. Each was 6 weeks partial weight bearing with crutches. However, the Tibial Tubercle Transfer I had with open surgery on the left knee was much less fun than that. 6 weeks in a brace and on crutches. The left kneecap is starting to slide around in there again now.

I'm 42 and I need 2 new knees.

Go for your arthroscopies.
