  2. Postoperative Knee Pain According to research, orthopedic surgeries are the most painful procedures and take quite a while to fully heal.

  5. Pain Diary The pain diary is a record of the pain triggers, when it begins or ends, where the pain is concentrated, and what improves or worsens it. This will help your health care team evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment plan and see where improvements can be made.
