I had knee surgery for a torn meniscus. Dr. Parry did the surgery. He is the same one that did my shoulder surgery years ago. My knee had been hurting for a few weeks and they did an MRI and said I needed surgery. It was a quick in and out procedure with 3 small incisions. It only took about an hour. I came home and stayed off it for the day. I had to use ice every hour for 20 minutes. It has been 3 weeks and it is finally starting to feel better. I still can't go to the gym, or kneel on it, or walk very far. They said it would take at least 6 weeks to heal.
