Went in on Monday had right knee replacement have never felt so ill,cannot eat and have been in a comatozed state.nothing like the Left leg which was worse,after a few days I did get back to normal eating.
Came home on Wednesday after doing the stairs test and the 90 degree knee bend,but have felt so ill sickly feeling with not eating.
I am trying to eat and get my strength up for Physio on Monday.
leg pain is bad but just taking Paracetamol for it getting a good nights sleep is a No No again or getting comfy.
from a very down patient

You're very brave having 2 so close together...I waited almost 2 years before I scheduled in my 2nd one...and have had to have manipulations on both (last one just last w/e).
you don't sound as if you have powerful enough meds...you need something stronger.

As long as they have checked your blood levels and other blood issues you are probably on track
As far as therapy...if you aren't feeling well and strong, tell your therapist that he/she is just going to have to tone it down a bit till your body allows you to go full blast. I had an incident yesterday that has left me in real pain for the 1st time since having the prosthesis removed almost 4 weeks ago. Yesterday the weekend occupational therapist had me on a piece of equipment to strengthen my upper body and left my knee hang where its always been elevated. I can do o.k. pain wise as long as the meds hold up.......then its like the 3rd day after surgery. You take care of yourself and let's hope the system adjusts quickly. You certainly have endured enough the last few months.........you deserve only the best. Spring is starting to show promise and I know you are anxious as I to get out and enjoy it
Less than 2 months now for me to get my new prosthesis installed. Saw the surgeon a week ago. He says next surgery will be a snap..... He didn't tell me whether that was a snap for him or me

this leg was nothing like left leg I am reporting the antithesis as she was one Bitch...she told me I was having a Spinal tap. I said No I am not I was a G A she was fuming and walked out the room ...she was so cold and callus when I was ready to be put out.
she just put the canular right in blood everywhere...she said to the guy we have a competition who spills the most blood in here or the theatre... I tried to sit up and she shoved me down and whoosh came the cold in my veins and I was gone....
i woke up thank god and I told my Husband as he heard her talking to me in the room and he said she was rude.
i will be reporting her to the hospital when I get my strength up,I do feel a bit better this evening I have ate a little roast dinner yay!!!

hope you can get some rest. I think tiredness makes the pain worse. You know all about resting and icing. I wish there was something I could suggest to help but you know just as much as me!
Just remember that these feelings pass eventually. All I can say is that I sympathise and am thinking of you.
