I had mine done a few years back, and for the first 3 to 4 days/nights, it felt like someone was stabbing my knee constantly with sharp knives. It was painful!! Probably a week before it settled.

Had one in 2013. First week it's hard to sleep but after that it got better. It's very frustrating, I actually lost some weight because it was a pain to get around so I didn't eat near as much as I used to.

Everyone is different, some people can walk right out after their op, I had to use a wheelchair.

Just make sure you do your rehab when the time comes, it's crucial.

Cheers guys. They want me on my feet this morning before discharging me. Got around on crutches last night but the 10 metres to the toilet and back was about my limit

Get back on your feet as soon as possible.
I knew a barber who had one done, it took him weeks to recover...he had to cut hair on crotches.

How come race car drivers get hot chicks?
To answer your question in a roundabout way, I remember a story F1 driver Eddie Irvine told once.

He was in a bar in Monaco or somewhere swanky one time, and had told his manager and entourage to play down he was there and who he was... So he mingles for a bit on his own and was trying to tune this glamour but getting nowhere, she didn't want a bar of him. After about half an hour he goes up to his manager and says "Ah f**k it, go and tell her who I am and what I do" and before you know "it was all happening!" in his words.... $$'s my friend, that is the answer!

It's funny when it happens organically hey? Less cool when some new guy who never discusses the actual footy turns up and starts asking stupid questions about sexual preferences. Comes across as taking the piss.
