Yes I had the surgery had minimal pian, but everyone is different. Hope you get relieve soon from the pain.
But continue physical therapy very important for your recuperation

I found the ice machine really helped with swelling and thus pain levels for first few weeks. Things really due settle down. It’s a long process. I had one done Summer is 2014 and the other during winter of 2015. Summer was much easier time. No fun in the ice and snow. I had way less pain with second knee. First was done with me awake using a spinal block but second time I was under anesthetic. I wasn’t in hospital more than a few days.
Take care.

Hi Kim...yes I've had both knees done a few years back..best thing I can tell you is do the exercises ..pain meds help till it heals..but physio is very important to get your full mobility back.Im truly blessed I have that now and no pain !! Good luck

Oh yes!!!

Thank you so much, Darlene ! My friend is going to let me borrow one of the Dr ice machines!! She said they work much better then the ice packs I bought! Yay
It’s so hard to sleep as well. I appreciate your responses! Thanks! Kim
