Mr Fairbank did a "half" knee replacement 4 weeks ago. I had been warned by several acquaintances who had had knee replacements to expect a several weeks of pain. Whilst I have to say it's not the most wonderful or comfortable experience I was off the strong pain relief after five days (and any at all after two weeks) Several things I felt helped my experience be as benign as it has turned out to be: 1) Epidural vs general anesthetic - I was eating lunch an hour or two after the operation! Stay of the "gas" if you can. 2) Hydrotherapy - getting in that pool with the physiotherapist two days after the operation really got me moving and on the road to recovery. 3) The wonderful Aircast Cryo Cuff - FORGET packets of frozen peas - this gadget not only cools the knee but also applies the right sort of compression (Mr F says that's important) A massive comfort after doing my exercises. RECOMMEND!! All in all not half as bad an experience as I was bracing for! Thanks Adrian, your a real pro.
