HOW TO MEASURE IT

1Answer in the morning, about the night just gone.
2Nought is no pain at all; ten is the worst you can imagine.
3Report the worst of the night, not the average of it.
4Same question, same scale, every morning.

Night pain on a nought-to-ten scale is an outcome measure in the knee literature, recorded as its own item separately from pain on movement. The wording of the anchors is this site's, and is the ordinary phrasing of that scale rather than a finding.

WHAT THIS NUMBER FEEDS

Nothing on this site reads this number yet. It is here because it is worth having in front of a surgeon, not because a gate depends on it.

HOW YOU COMPARE, AND WHY CAREFULLY

○○○○○ NOTHING PUBLISHED TO COMPARE AGAINST

No study in this site's research reports a night pain score at a given week after this operation. What would settle it is a cohort reporting night pain separately, against time from surgery.
