Hi everyone. I needed a forum tonight. I am 5 weeks postoperative, with a double knee replacement. Man, this something. I have a three-part recovery, it seems. 1. Pain and stiffness. 2. Fatigue. 3. Emotions. I stopped the narcotic pain meds two weeks ago because they truly scared me. Helpful, but don't want a drug recovery to follow this recovery. So, there's pain, mostly high up in the back of my calves. Fatigue is why I checked out this forum. Gawd!!! Washed out at the most simple task, such as cooking, and just don't feel well. Emotions, well, I have had my moments but know what do do with that. Has anyone done both knees? I'm 69, walking without an assisting device but feel like I'm living in a murky aquarium with my face pressed up against the glass.
