    Thank you for posting this video Michelle, I've just watched the video of the knee Surgery so I know what they are going to do.
    But listening to you gives the person's perspective. I'm having my first knee Surgery on the 19th July and I can't wait.
    Thank you again and I hope you have fully recovered now and you are well now Michelle.

    I'm about to have TKR #2, and the first time was horrendous. The drugs barely made a dent in the pain, and I remember just lying in bed and crying. Five years later, my other knee needs surgery. But this time will be different, as I'm going to have a Genicular Nerve Cryo-Ablation, where, under light sedation, a radiologist will insert three large needles around the knee and snake small freezing devices into them. The nerves are then frozen, and although they will regenerate, it takes about 6 months. The main reason to do this is to decrease (or eliminate) post-surgical pain. I am REALLY looking for forward to this, going through the surgery and PT pain-free. The trick will be not to do too much too soon as pain is there for a reason- to make you rest and heal. But the PT was excruciating!! I'd take a pain pill and it would still make me cry, working on getting range of motion in the first two weeks. I'm not sure why more doctors don't prescribe this treatment!

    Thank you for sharing. My partial replacement is in 10 days. My knee makes horrid noises now, so a bit of a squeak won’t be a problem. 😂😂
