I HAD TO have surgery to correct mine just this past Feb. It was to the point where I was unable to go up or down stairs without significant difficulty and pain. It affected my daily activities (walking, standing from a seated position, and even sitting for any period of time).
My 20 minute drive home from work often involved me stopping to get out and straighten my leg, hobble around for a few minutes, then finish my drive home. I was unABLE to weightbear and squat past 10 degrees of flexion without significant pain.
I am 7 weeks post-op, tried to start running too soon after surgery so am back to resting it...but it does feel 100% better and I am encouraged by the early results.
