    Never had that done on my knee but I have had plenty others all I can say for certain any knee surgery is painful some more then others. With a total knee sometimes it can be 6 months or more before it starts feeling better. I am also aware you can hurt like hell your knee can be swollen and tender to the touch butwhen you see a Dr. he looks at does an examination ( using his hands checking for sore spots ) and you are ready to leap off the table and then he says everything looks normal. I hate to say this because it stinks but unless you have an infection and your x-rays look good there is nothing the Dr. can really do. My suggestion do your exercises take your pain meds use ice frequently and be patient.
