pain back again
Posted , 8 users are following.
Well that will teach me 3 and a half weeks post operation and thought I had this pain sorted. How wrong was I? Think I did too much exercise and housework because I thought I could. Last night was one of the worst ever the pain came back and I didn't hardly
sleep. Today I am doing nothing at all just a little exercising and
plenty rest and icing. Don't be lulled into thinking one decent day and everything is back to normal because this thing just kids us..
One step forward and two back seems to be the norm. This is my second tkr so I should have known. The physio said we conveniently forget everything because that is the body's way of coping. Boy was she right.x

Im in same boat. 3 1/2 weeks post op and my 2nd time around. I wasnt given any help/advice/physio so been winging it. I listen to my knee(not literally!)when im on it to much and just throw my icepak on it.
Havnt been out on my own or without crutches since op.
Read some posts on here last night and started very gently on my exersize bike. Thats a massive step as had HUGE probs with bending.
Listening to everyone else seems like i was operated on by a butcher!!!
Do hope you feel better asap.
Let everyone wait on you today!!!!

I'm just wondering if you’re still taking your pain meds. I did the same thing and started working out at the gym because the Oxycodone masked the pain and tricked me into believing that the absence of pain meant I was ready to start pushing a little harder.
Biggest mistake I ever made! Next day my knees were swollen up so big they looked like grape fruits. And the pain was many times worse than before even the Oxycodone didn't give me any relief.
I just had to bare it.
That moment of stupidity set me back 3 weeks as I couldn’t resume my rehabilitation until the swelling went down.
Sorry it happened to you too. I feel your agony.

But its so hard to keep morale up when its so frustrating. But yes you are totally right and this time i have been more patient(damm hard)
I hate pain etc controlling me(im stubborn)and hate being dependent. Im an impatient patient. But have taken it on board as good god dont want to break my leg.
Hope you are skipping about soon.
