I'm well into my third week of mostly pain-free activity. I say nearly because too much torque on the joint sends painful reminders to be careful. I wear the brace for any physically demanding, weight-bearing activities, but do not need it for riding. Occasionally, I feel hints of distress waiting to happen so that even for something like walking to the mailbox (maybe 50 yeards) I strap on the brace.
The injection of the corticosteroid into my knee joint has been relatively successful, meaning it worked, but the reality of bone-on-bone remains. As long as I can function this well I see no compelling reason to consider anything more drastic like replacement surgery.
