Knee replacement surgery may go poorly for people who think life is unfair

Interesting study on postoperative success rates of knee surgery:

Anyone else think this study is basically looking at TMS, in a very roundabout way?

I'll share my own experience. Long before I diagnosed and cured my TMS, I had my jaw advanced by a centimeter. My face swelled to the size of a watermelon and the following two weeks were the most painful of my entire life. When I called my surgeon to get a better pain prescription, he mentioned pain of that level is very unusual. My pain went away when the swelling was mostly gone. TMS? Seems quite possible in retrospect.

 

I think it's just not a good idea to ever think that life is unfair.
It's a matter of perspective and degree.
When I thought it was bad that I had a back ache, I thought of Mother Teresa of Calcutta
and saw pictures of her walking like she was 100 when she was half that age.

I try to be grateful for the blessings I have been given and don't weigh them against what
others have.
