basketball.
I've torn my cross ligaments 8 years ago, but because I have a very strong, how do you say phisique I managed to play b ball all this time. Every now and then I had minor problems but it was never a big deal.
In the last year or two, I started to have problems with my ( don't know the english word, but in latin it's caled meniskus) the thingys holding your bones apart in your knee. Two small bone like thingys started to tear. And one is torn in half so they'll fix that tomorrow and at the same time look at ma knee and see what can be done about the ligaments. I'll probably have another operation in the next month or so, when they'll replace my ligaments...

No, I didn't have surgery, because the first doctor said the ligaments are not torn, only damaged a little......
I found out the're torn 5 years ago, but by then I was ok.
I worked on my leg muscles and everything was ok till now.
The ligaments aren't my main concern. They can be replaced.
I'm worrien about my meniscus. Both of them....

don't worry about your meniscus, in the worst case they're removed without any problem and you only need to rest more time and do regular exercise to maintain in good shape the knee.
My right knee's meniscus were "shaven" in surgery, to make them smooth and not cause any more trouble to my...damn... soft bone (cartilagus I think its the name in english)
I have my surgery video around here

forget the pain, the most annoying problem is you can't walk, run, do some normal things because you feel that the knee has an urgent need of oil/lubricant and it ... makes cool noises, just like your door when the hinges need lubricant
and with your shoulders I doubt it, the knee is a more specialized part of the body. Maybe you should remember the things you did or the time when your shoulders stared to hurt. A weightlifting injury? you were skating and fell down?
this would be easier if I knew the english names of some bones

the doctor told me to walk right away he pulled out of my thigh a tube (to drain blood and liquids from the knee),
to walk "normaly" I would say 2 weeks because I've been a slow person to recover after surgery. Nowadays you don't use a cane/walking stick or anything else.
don't worry, the first day is the worst because you can't move, the good thing is that you spend it sleeping
big problems after surgery... mmhh, not really, only to regain trust to walk, run, etc

Good luck komotar. I hope you're going to have a good, speedy recovery. It seems I have some problems with my left knee aswell, so I'll see a doctor next week.
