Hi all, I had a total replacement done 9 days ago and seem to be progressing nicely. I'm walking on just one stick-although I haven't been outside yet! I am just pottering around the house. My biggest problem is sickness. I just feel sick pretty much all the time, and need the loo lots as well. I thought it was because of the meds, I don't seem to take well to meds. I dropped all meds off once I got out of the hospital and so I have been taking only paracetamol for the last 3 days. I still feel sick all the time tho. Is this normal? Any suggestions as to what is causing it or more importantly what will stop it?

Thanks in advance 😃

    Hahaha it's so good to know that these weird and wonderful things are 'normal' tho. I've spoken to my doctor this morning and she has prescribed some anti sickness tablets so we'll see how they go x
