I had my right knee done (total) on April 4 by Novant Orthopaedic here in Charlotte (I now have matching zippers on each knee) and was up walking the same day, spent 2 nights in the hospital. I needed a walker for about a week until the nerve block was totally gone out of my leg. Pain was manageable with the pain pills but I switched to tylenol after a week. I have been walking all over, driving, etc. no problems. I have done the rehab religiously since week one and have about a month to go. The only pain I still have comes in the middle of the night, sort of an annoying ache. Not a big deal, and will soon be gone. In my experience it is totally worth it to get my mobility back.
