How long before walking without pain

I am so sorry you are having such a difficult time. I was worried about my left knee supporting my weight, since it had only been a little more than a year since I had surgery on that knee. Sorry about your shoulder.
I pray that your pain eases and getiing around gets easier for you.
I am very fortunate to be able to walk everyday, mostly pain free.
Hopefully, your good days will soon outnumber the not so good ones.
Ask your doctor about Euflexxa injections. Maybe they would help you like they have helped me.

I also had Microfracture surgery done in February of this year.
I had surgery on the other knee in October 2005 (meniscus tears).
I must be one of the lucky ones, I am not pain free, but close. I have had injections of Euflexa in both knees since the surgeries, and I am convinced that has helped.
I am in my fifties and have a large stature, I was concerned about my age and weight after the Microfracture procedure. I was worried about my left knee (meniscus surgery) having to support my right knee (Microfracture) for six weeks, I just loved the walker, NOT!!!
I hope your pain subsides, I did not have any pain until I had been walking a few days after my six weeks non weight bearing. But I am able to walk two to five miles a day. My doctor just told me not to walk too much one day, that I could not walk the next day.
Good luck, if you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me.
