Thanks Tom,, thats good to know,, but Im not taking any meds other then my advil and occassional painkiller before I try to sleep at night,, trying not to take anything during the day although the occassional advil is needed. I know this last week I have pushed it a little to much.. I rested last night and that helped. I came back to work after 7 weeks post op but I am on a college campus so everything is a hike. I also went back to teaching water aerobics last week,, I think that might have been a little to soon. I will take Pats advice and rest a little more and remember when Im standing to try to put more weight on the new joint and see how I feel in another month or two. BTW , ,this site has been a life saver .. thanks Pat !!
