A Special Welcome Message from Dr. Andrew Wickline, MD
Recover from Hip & Knee Replacement with Less Swelling & Pain
The Less Swelling Less Pain guide books on recovering from hip and knee replacement surgery were developed by renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. Andrew Wickline.
Dr. Wickline is known for his innovative recovery published protocols that have helped thousands of patients recover from joint replacement surgery without painful physical therapy methods.
His protocols have also drastically reduced the need for narcotic pain medications for many patients, while still providing results that are comparable to traditional recovery techniques.
In these recovery guides, you will learn:
- How to prepare for your recovery from hip or knee replacement surgery
- Optimizing your nutrition to promote recovery
- What to expect leading up to, during, and after your joint replacement surgery
- Step-by-step exercises for your recovery
- What to do in the days, weeks, and months after your hip or knee replacement surgery
From the author, Andrew Wickline, MD
“I began a career in orthopedics starting with my residency, which began in 1996 at the Albany Medical Center Hospital. Following orthopedic residency of 5 years, I was a fellow in total joint replacement at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio.
Since 2002, I have been in the same practice in Utica, New York and have performed over 20,000 surgeries. Living in a small town, I see my patients not only in the office, but also at the drugstore, the grocery store, and out to eat. This allowed me to see how patients were really doing out and about, and ultimately prompted me to write an education book with areas for patients to journal in.
The patient journaling of their postoperative experience has been very beneficial both to me as a surgeon and my subsequent patients. Over the years, the initial book has been adjusted and rewritten over 28 times. I hope this material helps you on your journey.”

I can’t say enough about the recovery plan Dr. Wickline has provided in this book. Half the problem of any surgery is the anticipation of not knowing what comes next. This book, which was so carefully thought out, took all the fears away. Anything I was experiencing that day was covered in the daily notes by the professionals and or patients. I’m 6 weeks post-op now and feel confident to continue my journey to better health and better life.
