    knee surgery is the pitts. the things we have to go thru after surgery and rehab to get better.

    honestly i think we all deserve a medal. just the brave patients that endure the pain to get thru to a better place...hopefully....

    each surgery is different and the tingling is most likely from the swelling . your in a miserable stage of recovery. stay ahead of the pain take pain meds if out call for more so you can sleep. sleep and diet is a very important factor for healing. you know the drill RICE.

    sending healing blessings your way.
