Periarticular Injection (PAI)
* Aspirin and nerve pain medications including duloxetine and clonidine patch prior to surgery. * Peri-articular injection in the operating room * Combined Spinal Epidural with 1.5% Mepivacaine 4cc * A pain regimen while in the hospital that includes EPCA (saline) Duloxetine (Cymbalta) - by mouth Ketorolac (Toradol) - IV Celecoxib (Celebrex) - by mouth Acetaminophen (Tylenol) - IV * Acetaminophen and celecoxib for pain control once out of the hospital. Patients will also receive a prescription for an opioid medication in case they need it. Periarticular injection (Deep injection): Deep injection of "cocktail" containing Bupivacaine with Epi, 30mL; Morphine, 8mg/mL, 1mL; Methyprednislone, 40mg/mL, 1mL; Cefazolin, 500mg in 10 mL; saline, 22mL into the anterior capsule, the periosteum, the gluteus maximus, and the abductor muscles and fascia lata. Periarticular injection (Superficial injection): Superficial injection of 40mL 0.25% Bupivacaine into subcutaneous tissue prior to wound closure. Placebo: EPCA: Saline.
Epidural Patient-Controlled Analg (EPCA)
* Aspirin and nerve pain medications including duloxetine and clonidine patch prior to surgery. * Combined Spinal Epidural with 1.5% Mepivacaine 4cc * A pain regimen while in the hospital that consists of Epidural PCA (EPCA) with 0.06% bupivacaine. Duloxetine (Cymbalta) - by mouth Ketorolac (Toradol) - IV Celecoxib (Celebrex) - by mouth Acetaminophen (Tylenol) - IV The EPCA will be removed when pain is well-controlled. Other medications, including opioids, will be available. * Acetaminophen and celecoxib for pain control once out of the hospital. Patients will also receive a prescription for an opioid medication in case they need it. Bupivacaine: EPCA: Bupivacaine 0.06%.

Periarticular Injection (PAI)
n=59 Participants
* Aspirin and nerve pain medications including duloxetine and clonidine patch prior to surgery. * Peri-articular injection in the operating room * Combined Spinal Epidural with 1.5% Mepivacaine 4cc * A pain regimen while in the hospital that includes EPCA (saline) Duloxetine (Cymbalta) - by mouth Ketorolac (Toradol) - IV Celecoxib (Celebrex) - by mouth Acetaminophen (Tylenol) - IV * Acetaminophen and celecoxib for pain control once out of the hospital. Patients will also receive a prescription for an opioid medication in case they need it. Periarticular injection (Deep injection): Deep injection of "cocktail" containing Bupivacaine with Epi, 30mL; Morphine, 8mg/mL, 1mL; Methyprednislone, 40mg/mL, 1mL; Cefazolin, 500mg in 10 mL; saline, 22mL into the anterior capsule, the periosteum, the gluteus maximus, and the abductor muscles and fascia lata. Periarticular injection (Superficial injection): Superficial injection of 40mL 0.25% Bupivacaine into subcutaneous tissue prior to wound closure. Placebo: EPCA: Saline.
Epidural Patient-Controlled Analg (EPCA)
n=56 Participants
* Aspirin and nerve pain medications including duloxetine and clonidine patch prior to surgery. * Combined Spinal Epidural with 1.5% Mepivacaine 4cc * A pain regimen while in the hospital that consists of Epidural PCA (EPCA) with 0.06% bupivacaine. Duloxetine (Cymbalta) - by mouth Ketorolac (Toradol) - IV Celecoxib (Celebrex) - by mouth Acetaminophen (Tylenol) - IV The EPCA will be removed when pain is well-controlled. Other medications, including opioids, will be available. * Acetaminophen and celecoxib for pain control once out of the hospital. Patients will also receive a prescription for an opioid medication in case they need it. Bupivacaine: EPCA: Bupivacaine 0.06%.
PAI + EPCA
n=59 Participants
* Aspirin and nerve pain medications including duloxetine and clonidine * Combined Spinal Epidural with 1.5% Mepivacaine 4cc * Anesthetic, Antiemetic and peri-articular injection in the operating room * A pain regimen while in the hospital that consists of EPCA (with 0.06% bupivacaine) Duloxetine (Cymbalta) - by mouth Ketorolac (Toradol) - IV Celecoxib (Celebrex) - by mouth Acetaminophen (Tylenol) - IV The EPCA will be removed when pain is well-controlled. Other medications, including opioids, will be available. * Acetaminophen and celecoxib for pain control once out of the hospital.

Periarticular injection (Superficial injection): Superficial injection of 40mL 0.25% Bupivacaine into subcutaneous tissue prior to wound closure. Bupivacaine: EPCA: Bupivacaine 0.06%.
