I had my knee scoped back when I played in high school. It was mainly the reason I didn't get to play in college.


Are you getting scoped, or is this like a major reconstruction job? If it's a scope, you won't even be unconscious. They give you an epidural in you're spine & you don't feel anything from the waist down. Then they make a very small cut and go in with a tube that has a camera & do all the work.

When the epidural wears off, you'll be in pain, but they give plenty of pills for that. Rehab is going to be the worst.

but whats so bad about rehab?

Don't worry you ain't gonna wake up.  Afterwards you gotta put all the effort at rehab.  You, no one else can do it.  And make SURE they keep an eye on infections and other stuff  that can develop.

I got doped up pretty good when they had to reset my wrist, good times, but pain when I got my head together.  That's what the advil's for.

LOL
i been awake for all mine!!!

let's see..................... recently had a cheekbone put back together.
(had the other one put back together, when i was about 17, or so.)

had my right knee put back together.
(2 bullet's)
the dr did a pretty fair job, considering what he had to work with.
2 hole's on one side, one big one in the middle, and one more on the inside.
still hurts when it rain's.


thats it as far as "surgery's"
lots, and lot's, of stitches though.
and broken bone's.
