had my knee surgery today, i torn the mensicus(sp?) in it last year but figured at the time i had just pulled a muscle, well it finally got to the point where it was hurting nearly everyday so i went to the doctor and got a MRI done and thats when they found the tear. so far no meds needed. i have a script for vicoden but doubt ill take that. the only pain was being there at 6:20 this morning to get orperated on. the funny part was when me and one of the nurses were talking bout happy gilmore then i woke up in recovery and another nurse is the mother of a girl who i went to school with

Joe's right. The pain jits a day or two later. Mine felt like I was kicked in the side of the knee really hard. It was just a really deep sore feeling.

sounds like your doing well.. When I had my shoulder surgery a couple of years back, I never ended up taking anything other then advil.. I had the drugs, but just didn't take them.
I have a reaction to certain drugs and drugs like vicodin or tyleno with codeine string me out, just the reverse of what they do to most people. Tried them a few times for other surgery's, but not worth the side effects..
Most of the pain will be in the first few days. Keep icing it to keep the swelling down..2005 GTO (mine) K&N CAI and Magnaflow exhaust, drilled and slotted rotors, and other minor mods.
