i used ice machine I would be able to leave on overnight… I would put towel between the pad and my knee …. I also had tuff time sleeping after surgery…I used olly with melatonin it says you can take 2 but I only needed to take 1 was very helpful…..getting a good night sleep is so important to recovery….for your body and mind…. I included a pic of olly hope it helps

I agree wholeheartedly re the healing effects of sleep. Thus far I’m not having a lot of difficulty getting to sleep but the interruption when the leg pain starts is frustrating. I seem to have gotten it down to about 1.5 hrs vs 5 hrs of sleeplessness due to leg pain. Hoping that will improve as I do the treatment & (hopefully) pain subsides as bruising heals. Thanks for the tip re Olly. Best wishes to u.
