Best of luck with it.
Lots of good info so far. Maybe ask your doc if you can take 1.5x the dose prescribed as the script one doesn't seem to be helping. I wouldn't double up on the tylenol though, that stuff will screw with your liver.
Both mine have been done, both with involvement of the biceps tendon and significant arthritic lesions. They weren't fun. Good sports medicine surgeons for big school programs helped I'm sure.
If they're still available, as I know they've cut back on prescribing, take the meds 20 minutes or so before your first PT sessions. (just wait, those are SO much fun)
Recliner for sure, might even be better than that bed if you have one available.
again, good luck
