Righto, to the questions. Has anyone had the said surgery? How long the operated area is sore afterwards? How long does it take to be 'back in business'? Any risks (right, as if any operation would be risk free ) that I need to be aware of?
I wouldn't sweat it too much, Dowly. I've had arthroscopic surgery on my knees several times for a few different things (mostly all stemming for football, you know - the real American kind ).

Worst ever was when I had to have my ACL reconstructed. Was off my feet altogether for about a week, then had to use crutches for another month or so. What you're having done should be nothing like that, so don't worry.

As far as the pain goes, you'll barely notice it within a couple of days, and even right after surgery its not intense or anything. Plus you'll get meds (but seriously, don't drink when taking them).

In any case, you'll probably be as good as new within a couple of weeks.
