Thank you @jud for letting others know about a treatment that helped you sleep. While it is true that not everything works for everyone, I think there are many of us who would be willing to try a hot tub in hopes of a good night's sleep. The breathing method does work for some. Mindful meditation helps others.

How long were you pain-free? Did you repeat the hot tube another time? Same results? Have comfort and ease. Chris

I have remained basically pain free. Had my 2 month post-op (actually 9 weeks) and the doc thought I was doing very well. Full flat extension and flexion at about 125. So I have definitely turned a corner.

I told the doctor I was surprised at how long it took, 9 weeks, to have the pain ease. He said this was perfectly normal.

I have continued to use the hot tub and I stretch and flex while in the hot water. I think you could do the same with a hot bath. This has definitely eased…to the point of elimination… my pain.
