1%er large apparently. My knee is bigger than the off the shelf XXL knee joint so that's why they did the CT scan today. They have to build a custom knee joint. Same exact design, just bigger.

Who wants 'off the shelf" anyway?

Damn. I'm glad I have no problems with my joints... at least not yet. Hope I never do. I also hope they finally worked all the bugs out for such replacements.

Good-Luck.

Does it really provide more relief than naproxen or ibuprofen to justify the cost?

Yeah, it's probably the top shelf NSAID on the market as far as the trade off between pain relief and side effects. I had been going the ibuprofen route but long term that can really up your stomach.

hillbilly heroin, wonderful, fast-acting, total relief, but so wonderful can be addictive, for short term intense pain (root canal), unbeatable.

Does it really provide more relief than naproxen or ibuprofen to justify the cost?

Yes. It's a miracle drug imo. I am in constant pain without it.

Be sure to take a Sharpie and write "DO NOT CUT" on your other knee.
