How To Decrease Pain In Knee Post Replacement Surgery?
After partial right knee replacement 10/31/11 recovery was progressing well. On 12/5/11 I left a Physical Therapist with increased pain which I still have 8/9/12. It is worse upon standing for 12-14 steps then improves as I continue walking. What can I do to decrease my pain?
