Dear Amytro, sounds like flexion and extension
are excellent. Also, your use of the cane and walker
were about where I was .I didn’t use “meds “
during the day. I used a combination of Tylenol
And Motrin during the day.I reserved the hydrocodone only at night in addition to Tylenol and
Motrin .I also took 5 mg Ambien . It’s so critical to
get a good nights sleep. Overall sounds like you’re right on track

@chickenhaslips I too reserved the “big guns” for bedtime. My ortho was very stingy with prescription pain relievers. Unfortunately the only OTC pain reliever I can take is acetaminophen which is not very effective.
