44. One thing my mother said right away was the relief from constant pain.

Fri Jan 6, 2012, 08:32 PM

Jan 2012

While she had surgical pain from the incisions and the physical therapy, she said that there was an immediate relief from the 24/7 pain from the severely damaged arthritic knees.

Honestly, a few months after it's over, you'll be so glad you did it.
