Huma,

Try not to be scared.  I had a similiar procedure done in 2006 and the recovery from the tear repair was pretty quick. I had pain for the first week.  I was weight bearing as tolerated, had crutches for about two weeks, and was able to go back to work in about 3.

Take care and good luck with your surgery,
Joni
