I am a month out of total knee replacement. The pain is making me unable to sleep and rehab is the most pain I have felt. They gave me a prescription of percoset which I am trying to stretch out. Got a call into the dr to help me with the two weeks left of rehab.

I thank God my surgeon at Mayo was a forward thinker and put a spinal on me for my second hip replacement. Apparently, the pain response from such procedures actually inhibits the healing process. Getting it removed sure sucked, but my recovery went much better than my first procedure.
