Are you doing physical therapy? I had my right knee done for m repair 7 yrs ago. My doc said 6 months to heal and I promise you almost to the date of the surgery...6 mos later the pain was gone. It was the best thing I've done to date...no pain since. Be patient and if you were told to stay off of it for 12 weeks as I was, you really need to do that. I didn't and would have probably been pain free alot sooner had I been a better patient. Good luck.
