Are you preparing for joint surgery-or recovering from one-and wondering why no one warned you it would be like this?
In Stiff, Sore, and Still Standing, orthopedic specialist Dr. Sarah S. Thomas pulls back the curtain on what really happens after the operation is over. With honesty, humor, and decades of clinical insight, she guides you through the swelling, stiffness, and emotional rollercoaster that often follows joint replacement and repair procedures.
This isn't your average recovery manual. Dr. Thomas shares real patient stories, practical advice, and insider tips your surgeon may not have time to tell you-from how to survive physical therapy without losing your mind, to what "normal" pain really feels like, to the quiet mental toll of being temporarily dependent on others.
Whether you're a patient, caregiver, or simply curious about what it takes to get back on your feet-this book is the honest, empathetic companion you need through every painful, wobbly, but ultimately empowering step of recovery.
You're not alone. You're not crazy. And yes-you're still standing.
