[QUOTE="Shari, post: 23230, member: 1848"] I had to have knee surgery and they drilled into my femur and it hurt like nothing I've ever felt. I don't recall the pain medication they sent me home with, but it made me sicker than a dog, to where I couldn't hold down the ibuprofen, so needless to say, I didn't take it. I was 3 days out before we found something that I could take. It was a long three days, but I made it. It hurt, but lots and lots of ice to numb the area helped. Ask for a cryo-cuff, that thing was my lifesaver. Its a thing that you velcro onto your elbow (in my case knee, but they make them for many joints), then you fill with ice water from a cooler. When it gets warm, you drain it and do it again. They have one that constantly circulates the water for you, too, if you can afford to get high tech. MUCH better than a plain old ice pack. [/QUOTE]
