[QUOTE="Origami, post: 676967, member: 18099"] My husband had knee replacement surgery about 8 years ago. I don't remember the specific pain medication he used, but it might have been Vicodin. I agree with Tanya's idea for him to discuss the issue with his surgeon, since he or she should have a good idea of what's available or necessary for pain management. I can say that my husband's quality of life has improved tremendously since the surgery. Before, he could barely walk up stairs through the pain (and we live on a third-floor walkup), and he was very unstable and "wobbly" when he had to walk for any length of time. Now he can walk normally without pain. The recovery period is rough, with some painful physical therapy, but I think worth it in the long run. [/QUOTE]
