Ok. I know some injuries will be painful for a very long time. Once my broken bones have healed, I haven't had much pain. However, the knee replacements have been a new experience with pain. I don't think I will ever be pain free.

I know what you mean about the cast. They can get claustrophobic. I can never imagine wearing a cast for a long time.

I really wish you all the best. You sure have had a rough time with this thing.
