Have fun at the wedding.Good luck with your pain management. I know they don’t like to prescribe much other than Motrin.
Dr Fitz has a great reputation unfortunately he doesn’t take my insurance. I think I will google “conformis knee” and find the list of MD’s that fo it.

Thanks, @mwatts91757
You are right, these days they are very hesitant to prescribe much. I am post-transplant (liver) and the only OTC pain reliever I am allowed to take is Tylenol, which is not much help.
I am surprised that Dr. Fitz will not take your insurance since he is part of Brigham and Women's. Usually those large hospitals take pretty much every insurance I thought. I am sure you will find a good surgeon who uses the Conformis too.

@dkapustin I am really glad that you are getting another opinion. It can't hurt and it may be very helpful and enlightening. I hope the new surgeon will be able to shed some light on what the problem is.

@artscaping That's great that you are moving forward and doing better. What a huge relief that must be for you.
