Ask ur OrthopedicDoc: While any of the orthopedic surgeons on this site can give you their idea of recovery time, your orthopedic surgeon is ultimately responsible for you. That's why you need to ask all your questions of your surgeon prior to undergoing procedure. Ask about recovery, complications, side effects, etc. Ask about when to stop medications prior to surgery, when to restart etc. Ask about pain control . .
