DO NOT WORRY ABOUT TAKING PAIN MEDS IF NEEDED!
I had a nurse one week after my TKR tell me I should be off narcotics by that time. I was going mad with the pain and felt terrible that I was so weak.
At 2 weeks post op I had my staples removed and asked my doctor about the medication. He was FURIOUS that the nurse had told me that. He has patients 3 months post op still taking narcotics and said if I am feeling pain, take the medications. You can not exercise when in pain so you stall your recovery. Pain is your bodies way of saying it needs help to heal. Keep up the good work.
