You didn't have to take any pain meds? I have several steps in my townhouse. Will I be okay in your experience? I am 70 but in pretty good shape for my age. I am getting my first knee done August 11 and my second in October. I am quite nervous. I live alone. Thank you for ANY suggestions.

I think you’ve been misinformed about the pain meds. I would not have been able to have the procedure without them. However, my recovery is much faster, and 2 weeks after surgery I am only taking Tylenol for pain. Getting around well putting full pressure on that leg. Generally it is done as an outpatient procedure, so you go home the same day. Biggest thing is DO YOUR PHYSICAL THERAPY! Talk to the surgeon and get a good understanding of what he’ll be doing. Good luck to you!
