Thank you. Amazingly, I have. It is now the 16th day post knee replacement. I had an RX for oxycodone and never took a single pill. Only pain I have felt was some pain when I first stood up but after walking twenty steps or so it mostly abated. My incredible surgeon corrected my horrible misalignment and did a BCR replacement (bicruciate retaining -- he kept all four of my ligaments. Probably somewhere north of 95% of all knee surgeons cut and remove the ACL).

I am essentially pain free. My physical therapist (first appt. was two days ago) measured my flex as 120 bend and 0 length. I fully plan to be on the first tee on the 28th of this month -- four weeks after my surgery. I take no credit -- all credit belongs to Dr. Jimmy Chow.

As I said, I did. I was playing golf on day 28 post surgery.
