I have been on the forum for a couple of weeks now awaiting my surgery LTKR Mar 18th. I have noticed that a large portion of the threads and questions are dedicated to pain and pain management. As almost all of us have had at least one and more likely several knee surgeries prior to TKR let me pose a question. How does the pain of the knee replacement compare to other prior surgeries that you have had? My impression is that TKR is dramatically more intense then any other. Am I correct in this assumption? One of my concerns is that I am not able to tolerate the heavy duty meds, the little green men start to chase come after me, and I would like to have a better idea of what I am going to be going through.
