I had a partial tear, debridement and repair. One anchor. I was not in a brace, could not use crutches and walker was rough. Was up and going in less than six weeks. Good wishes on a healthy recovery. Following instructions- no surgical complications will get you going faster. Keep doing what you need to!

no crutches or walker
the crutches seemed like death waiting to happen for me so I got a walker. after a week and half I realized there was caps for the non- wheel part. wow it glides so much easier over the floor. I was so surprised that they took the brace off but like you said you have to follow instructions to the tee. I had alot of nerve pain with the brace on but now that it is off I only have some now and then. the brace was way to tight and the pads on it were not set on correctly. which I adjusted and when laying just in bed we took the bottoms off to give less tension. I have to use the walker for stability for up to six weeks or until I can walk completely with no limp and no pain. the pain is have now is only from my knee being stiff but with the PT exercises it is already getting better where I can walk flat footed with the walker
