At first I just wanted to hear what the surgeon said. I didn't ask questions. Now I'm more prepared. I guess I'm afraid of his reaction, but at least I'll know what kind of person he is. So yes, I will write my questions down. My question would be, how would he know what size knee replacement I should have, how much incision would he have to make, and how can he tell where I need help before he opens me up, also how much of the bone will he have to shave off, if that's what they do? I made an appointment with a doctor that specializes in pain, the hospital website (a large conglomerate around here) has references to things like acupuncture and other types of pain management. So hopefully the doctor there will be able to understand, listen, and recommend wisely. (I guess I don't trust doctors. Ya think?)

Yes, but are you feeling better than before the surgery? That, I suppose, is the important thing.

I am 14 weeks out, I also wish I would have asked more questions. They did not tell me much about post surgery. Only that most people see a big improvement within 3 months…. Well, no one mentioned the tightening of the IT band. That is another symptom to work through…I just hope with my 7 days of week therapy I can work through it so that I can get back to enjoying things !!
