Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement 's  Response
Although this is painful surgery like any other surgery but this pain is easily controllable with pain killers. Also after surgery pain drops in a week or two. You can apply hot water fomentation and your swelling will also decrease with this. Do not be panic about surgery. Go ahead with surgery.
