It must be a brain thing, like I said, logic told me that it ought to be harder walking uphill than downhill, but it was the other way around, a bit weird. The brain seems to still be the great unknown, about the body.
As for surgery, I think any major surgery has pain at the time. They gave me 10 Oxycontin when I left the hospital and I only ended up taking 9 of them. I dont like to take too much of that kind of stuff, I was on Tramadol for years, for the pain. I researched the knee replacements on Google and You Tube, before the operations and the fact that they basically saw your legs in half is a bit daunting. Cut off at the knees, so to speak
...having them both done at the same time to avoid a second lot of pain/hospital time and rehab is such great logical thinking tedfthis!... lol!... that just makes so much sense... I'll make sure that I remember that if I ever have to have it done lol!... they saw your legs in half?????...
... WTF???... my god I hope that I never have to have that operation done lol!... I'm glad that you stuck with the exercises afterwards though... it would be terrible to be totally immobile... thanks for sharing that tedfthis... cheers.
... you are so sweet...
