You all are making me nervous about the nerve block, that’s the plan for me and doing as out patient in and out same day. My surgeon will not prescribe PT for me..3 reasons, one referenced above, most don’t know how to deal with a replacement and has had PT do more damage then good and second because I live and hour away, in house isn’t an option and third, since I’ve had a repair before, I know all the exercises and how to push myself as needed and back off.
