My orthopedic surgeon said repeatedly after replacement , you have about 3 weeks to PT your muscles/tendons in shape and it will hurt, and as long as you are going to PT you will get lots of hydroxy codone. The PT guy said no pain no gain as he stretched my knees 3 times a week to get her done. I occasionally cried. The Hydroxy plugged me up and constapation occurred

Would I do it again? absolutely 6 months later I did the other knee

The new knee device does have a predicted life of 17-20 years. The hazard with doing it to early is having to do it again
