    Lateral partial knee replacement in March

    I had a cryocuff and I consider it a must. Sleeping was the most difficult part of my rehab. After awhile I realized going to sleep with that on would get me to fall asleep while the ice melted. My pain level wasn't high, but it was enough to keep me from falling asleep.
