Nausea

Posted , 3 users are following.

Had left tkr 9 days ago. Had right tkr Aug 2018. Took time but got there.

Am finding it weird that every time I go to poop I feel really nauseous. Have vomited at times. Do not have this any other time. Am not constipated or got a bug. Thought it might be related to Rivaroxaban blood thinners that on for another 7 days. Was on Tinzaparin injections until sent home with Rivaroxaban tablets 3 days ago. Had no issues with Tinzaparin. Not on any opioids as only on paracetamol, ice, elevation. Minimal pain compared to other knee. Only issue is this unpleasant daily episodes. Any one else experienced this? Going to have clips out on Wed so will ask District Nurse then. This knee experience is so different to other TKR. Far less pain. Far less swelling. Better range of movement.

    Spoke to GP. He thinks it is reflux. That all the drugs, resting may be what is causing the issue. He suggested microbiotcs such Keffir to restore gastrointestinal flora. He prescribed short course of Renitidine. It has abated with being more active. But obviously still needing to rest up, elevate and ice. Get to see Physio on Thursday for 1st session since discharge. Thanks for responding. Love this forum for being able to reach out and ask a question.
