Post op pain after arthroscopy

Posted , 1 user is following.

The first 2/3 days after surgery all was going well, no real pain, a bit of swelling. I was given Codeine based pain killers but these were not really needed. It has now been 4 days and the pain is excruciating... painkillers not touching the sides and i couldnt sleep. My knee has swollen and i cant put any weight on it at all. Is this normal? I'm a bit worried!
