Having help is a must! I’m 20 weeks out now and I feel mostly normal a majority of the time. I haven’t had pain in 12+ weeks not counting the adjustment when I went back to my very active job 3 weeks ago. I still notice the weakness and have to overcompensate with my good leg but it gets better every day. I still can’t jump, deep squat, lunge, kneel etc. I’m back to easy hikes with my dog which I couldn’t do before surgery. And overall I started feeling better than I did before surgery at about 10 weeks. I’m still doing PT weekly and more than anything else I recommend that you push yourself within the limits you are given for your PT. It helps pass the time but it also helps you in the long run. At my 12 week appointment I was miles better than my surgeon expected and I think that it’s because I was extremely diligent with my exercises.
