surgury
I just had some surgury done on my rt. knee. my advice is if they ask you about pain levels after surgury - lie. when I got out at 6pm I could walk and had no pain at all. by 2:30 this morning I was in agony. keep they body druged and the pain shouldn't be too bad but its a real bitch to overcome serious pain once the pain killers wear off!

Re: surgury
Sounds like my ACL surgery... They pump you so full of drugs at the hospital you feel fine despite a 5" incision across the top of your knee and having a large piece of tendon removed for the graft. Enough morphine, and you really could walk on a bloody stump. Then they send you home - with a bottle of high-dose ibuprofen tablets
, and by the evening, your leg feels hot enough to fry eggs on, and the pain is back, with interest.
And then therapy starts, initially consisting of using a machine that bends your leg for you at the knee to prevent excessive scar tissue from forming - six hours a day...
