5 weeks post TKR need some advice

I'm so sorry you're not feeling well. How scary to have a reaction. I take s 50mg Tramadol when I need it. If never had a reaction and I can be drug sensitive.

Better call your doctor again.

Eileen, sorry to hear you have so much fine. First 2 months I had crazy pain. I did not have the medications you mentioned but I had the same experience initially on Dilaudid. Lost 15 pounds in less than 4 weeks. But it is the only thing together with Ibuprofen that worked for pain man agent for me.

I suspect you are not in the US so I don't know what else is available over there or what they typically prescribe, but I want to strongly encourage you to be assertive in obtaining pain meds that works for you. It seems that the health professional is working with you in pain management so that is good. I do believe there must be alternatives.

I bit the bullet and suffered through the initial side effects and it went away with Dilaudid even though my appetite is still poor. But sometimes you just truly cannot tolerate a medication and I had that experience with Percocet. I am assuming you are icing,

Good luck and hope you find the right pain control!!!

I took tramadol one dose and was ill for 4 days vomiting shaking almost in a coma Thes tablets are s narcotic and should be banned I took paracetamol and 2 codene separate as I found they worked better than cocodamol even though they're supposed to be the same only do the exercises moderately as it's a no win situation as too much causes more inflammation plenty

plenty of rest leg up bags of frozen peas message your knee with Biofreeze and the scar with EH45 twice a day i wrapped my knee with clingfilm for an hour before bedtime have some reading at the side of the bed and a night light for the times youre awake or iPad like I'm doing now lol However i can say the more walking you do at a later time in your recovery will help and most of forget those b...........tds who say they were better quicker than you they are everywhere I'm 72 12 weeks since TAKE and I say ill get there in my own time 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

Eileen, you do need to go back to your GP and ask for something different.  Tell them how this affected you.  There are alternatives.  I think you need to be concentrating on the bend a bit more, even if it's gently.  Just push it to the stretch point not pushing it over the bad pain bit, so you don't lose what you've achieved.  Then maybe with the right tablets you can push it a bit more.  I know it must be a predicament - but you need to get the med right for you at this stage - it is really important, so go back and speak to your GP.  This could affect the rest of your life, so don't feel you're a nuisance going back or that they won't be able to find something to suit you - they will.  My heart goes out to you.
