Have they talked about recovery time?

What do you feel is a cause? I hear low cadence grinding isn't good for the knees. I sometimes think I need to get rid of my 34t front sprocket.
I was dead-lifting in mid-June. Once I started working sets, my leg snapped and then buckled. I knew something was wrong. MRI revealed 3 bone fragments and torn meniscus of the right knee. One of the fragments was the size of a marble. Lodged under the patella.

Recovery is ~6 weeks. I was active duty in the Marine Corps, my knees have some miles on them.

I run a 34T on my Levo, but Reign, I run a 28T with 170 cranks. Feels better for my knee.

Due to swelling, my knee was drained yesterday.
