Hi Blue Star
Aw, how nice of you to ask

I guess I've just been lucky. Okay, it was pretty painful for a few days after the op. and there have been a few times at the gym at physio where I've cried off doing any more on the "bike", as it's just hurt too much, but generally I've been really surprised at how little pain I've had. And it does help that prior to the op I couldn't move without screaming - well, slight exaggeration, but not much! lol Been for the post-op check and they seem quite pleased with me. After several hours Christmas shopping today I can truthfully say my knee is aching!
Hope you're okay.
