First couple of steps are weak and then back to normal. On the bike, I feel pain when going up hills while staying seated.
No pain, and it's been nearly 6 years. Immediately after, the was a bit of a dull ache for a while, but that eventually went away. I can't say when, because it just gradually just left, never to be heard from again. I do climbing, low cadence work, lots of intervals that put good stress on the whole leg "system", and I have more pain from muscles, than anything. I do desk work too, and that's not an issue. I don't pretend it never happened, but stuff like this is usually the only reminder, to be honest. I'm forever happy I didn't get it replaced, even though I knew I'd be back on the bike quicker.
