When does the pain end or lighten up after total knee replacement?

Different surgeons have different post procedure protocols. I think that Chow want to focus first on actual recovery from the procedure during the first week. He told me that his cut is slightly different from a Jiffy Knee cut and the Jiffy knee cut produces less pain but his cut is designed so that if he or anyone else has to go back in, he left a road. So Chow is very concerned about total recovery.
Considering how well things have gone so far, in the words of the late Pope Francis: Who am I to judge?

I wouldn't want a surgeon to do this, "the Jiffy knee cut produces less pain but his cut is designed so that if he or anyone else has to go back in, he left a road.".
If he believes that another surgeon would likely see the need to go back in the knee, then that's a huge problem I would have with Chow.
Just my opinion

@steveinarizona I see his reasoning. You are right, every surgeon does what works for them. I hope it works well for you and you are back on the golf course soon! Please keep us updated on your progress.
