Anyone had OCD lesion knee surgery?

A friend is facing this decision. She told me her doctor said 8 to 10 months recovery with absolutely no weight bearing exercise! Can this be true? I asked her if she could have misunderstood, that he said weeks not months, but she is sure he said months. It just seems so excessive. Anyone have experience with this?

Your friend is very incorrect lol! It’s the usual crutches and being careful for 5-6 weeks and physio from there.
