Hello, anyone feeling super tired-like exhausted after surgery? I'm 18 days from surgery. Working from home, so I'm back to the grind. Trying to minimally take pain pills, & even without, I feel super drowsy all day! I end up taking a couple hour nap during the day & go back to work in the evening. Wondering how long this fatigue will last!

I felt the same for a few weeks. That's your body responding to the fact your leg has been broken and it's completely normal. That's why they say you shouldn't go back to work so early!
I think I felt drowsy for about 3 weeks and then things got better. I'm now 5 weeks post op and working from home, not feeling any more drowsy than normal.
