Thanks for the kind wishes.
One of the requirements was that I discontinue the Melaxacam that I was taking to relieve the pain in the knees for 2 weeks prior to surgery.
One thing for sure, the Rx was doing quite a bit of good.
No other Nsaids allowed, either, so its alcohol in various forms. It kills the pain, and is quickly out of the system.
