Not trying to jack this thread - but it's on the same topic...

Nutcase, I remember your earlier postings...

As for the "may not stop *all* pain" statement by the DR? First, they gotta say that to you just-in-case. Second, for the person who is having stiffness, and OA just starting - if they had a TKR they'd have *more* pain than prior to the surgery. I still have pain. The difference is, I have days that are a ZERO on my pain scale (which I haven't had in years), and I have 2s and 3s from time to time - but different. Where the bone recission was done and the parts connected - I still have pain there at times, and it may or may not ever go away. If I stand for more than 3-4hrs I get pain at the *base*, or *under* the knee - again, a 2 or a 3 on my scale.

Would I do the TKR again? Is 7AM tomorrow OK?? It's work, and it's kinda scary (to me anyhow) and I puked in PT multiple times... but I can ride 29 miles, AND do the same ride the next day too - prior, could not walk 500 yards without crippling pain...
