Hi @golfshrink - I was intrigued by your mention of the alternative therapies you are trying - especially acupuncture. I'm doing great with my extension & flexion but I would love to be able to reduce the discomfort and get off the pain meds. At 4 weeks out of surgery, I'm still taking 3 oxycodone per day. Can you tell me how often you are doing acupuncture and whether your can see a reduction in your pain level as a result? I have a great acupuncture therapist but I have not been to him since my surgery. Any tips appreciated!

I encourage you to get off the oxycodone as soon as you can. Trying dropping down to say 2.5 pills a day in week 1., then 2 pills each day in week two. One Pill per day week 3, 1/2 a pill a day in week 4. That might work and help your body and mind adjust until your pill free.
