Answer 1

it will of course hurt, they will prescribe narcotic pain medicines, depending on te in hospital rate of recovery you may or may not need to go to a nursing home temporarily, auure to do lots of leg exercises to prevent clot formation in the legs. rehab time can vary anywhere from 6 weeks to a few months, stay in touch with the primary doctor and the ortho docs, good luck
