Keep the ice/cold therapy machine on it as much as you can. I felt like that gave me the best relief from the pain — even more than the meds (I didn’t even touch the Oxys).

Post-op, in the moment, like you…and everyone else…I felt like it was never going to end. But after I was fully recovered, three months or so, when I looked back it all it seems like nothing. I got on the stationary bike within a couple days of surgery. Nothing crazy…just very VERY slow spinning at first to help get my range of motion back.
You’ll get through it, and be back on the bike in no time. Good luck and hope you’re feeling better.
