    I am so scared of the pain meds. I have two adult children addicted to drugs. So I think I am under dosing myself trying to be really careful. I take 1/2 of an oxycodone twice a day and I was also given Celebrex. Sent from my iPhone using BoneSmart Forum

    I have not but I am willing to. Any suggestions on a good protein drink? I could buy some protein powder and add it to my shakes. Sent from my iPhone using BoneSmart Forum

    New knee July 27th

    Thank you for your reply. I sure hope the surgery will take care of the pain. I know I will have a long recovery but if the TKR gets rid of this pain it will be totally worth it! I am sure my 16 hour trip in the car and going up and down steps in the vacation condo plus trying to walk in the...

    New knee July 27th

    Ran across this app by accident and have been scanning through it hoping to find all the info I can before and after the big day. I am scheduled for RTKR in a couple of weeks. My big concern right now is, I have been very active playing tennis, pickleball, with minimal knee pain. Had a...
