Another subjective suggestion... When you are at home recovering in the first few weeks, and are beginning to feel better, cutting back on the pain meds, and decide to do a "bit more" than you did in the days before... DON'T! Trust me, you'll pay for it later.

Also, just to be on the safe side, when your doctor presribes the pain meds, and possibly some antibiotics to be safe, ask for something to help with possible muscle spasms, like Flexeril or Skelaxin.
