Hi,<br>I just had my knee replaced on December 21. I had an epidural (needle in spine). Also they gave me a relaxant medication -don't know what it was. I am 77 years old.<br> I came out of operating room 2 hrs, later wide awake and bright as a daisy. Much better recovery as well. There were people who had the general anaesthetic who were still 'out'. I am in Canada, so if they do an epidural on your country. I would highly recommend it. Less than 2 weeks and I walked the length of a Mall yesterday.<br><br>
