sitting at home on the couch......actually since this surgery was more invasive than any of the three knee surgeries ive had in the past, i would have thought i would be in alot more pain than i am....they cut muscles and ligaments off the bone, drilled 2 holes through the vertebrae to get to the bulges in the disk and im actually in surprisingly little pain.....the knee surgeries were three lil incisions and some minor removal of cartilage, no bones, muscles or ligaments were really touched....
