This thread makes me wonder what the heck people do, if they've had a painful knee or hip replacement in Florida. A few people sail through replacement surgery with minimal pain. But typically, most require strong prescription pain Meds. And often, patients have to "experiment" before they find the drug that effectively minimizes their pain level. Perhaps Seniors are treated differently.
