Training starts on the 2ND day after operation and can be painful at first. Taking the pain pills
they give you helps get you through it especially if it is a total knee replacement. After about
6-8 weeks you will be glad you did it . If you need both knees replaced do them both at once

I'm having total knee replacement on my right knee and I've heard a couple of horror stories about physical therapy afterwards. I know it will hurt but is it really that bad?

Depends on the person.  If you are a couch potato before the surgery, your going to be a couch potato after the surgery and the rehab will be more difficult.  The stronger you are going into surgery, the easier rehab will be.
