Nothing hurts like waking up from major knee surgery. I'm being honest here... it hurt 5x - 8x more than breaking the knee.
My doctor connected a pain pump that was directly feeding pain meds thru a tube into my knee... and I swore it wasnt working, because no way it could be working and hurt that fucking bad. And then 2 days later, it ran out. Thats when I discovered it had been working all the time and I'd have given anything to get a new one because it was a whole new level of pain that I'd never experienced before. The kind of pain that makes you wish you had a chainsaw to cut your leg off because that couldnt possibly hurt as much. Getting you knee scoped isnt shit compared to have a titanium plate attached with several screws running all the way thru your bone.
I seriously, seriously doubt that getting the joint replaced could hurt as bad as getting it repaired. Just do it. I've broke a lot of bones, ruptured & lacerated internal organs, cracked my skull, bruised my brain, it was all babyshit compared to that knee injury.
