Have had both of mine done one in '22 the other in'24 sorry I waited so long the pain relief is unbelievable it actually made me feel better in other places I had pain. A lot of Doctors don't talk about "pre hab" mine did since he knew I have always been very active. Do as many hip, quad, calf, back and stretching exercises that your Dr. will let you do. Andrew's did mine in Gulf Breeze my Dr. was awesome I wish the best for you.
