This paper on thromboinflammation is everywhere this week. Unfortunately nobody commenting on it seems to have read it!

I have, and it definitely doesn't say what commentators are suggesting. 🧵https://t.co/howINhQUOE

🤔 Does post-operative pain really dictate recovery?

A cross-sectional study found no correlation between steps taken postoperatively and pain intensity. 📉

🧠 Pain and physical recovery are separate aspects that need to be addressed independently.
