I can't agree with Pinhead enough. Get the ice machine!!! It keeps the pain way down as well as the swelling.

Also, do all of your exercises.

Finally, immediately after surgery, you will most likely be given some STRONG pain meds. TAKE THEM!!! It's only for a couple of days. If you wait for the pain to get bad, you will never catch up with the meds.
