Really rough going TKR aftermath
Posted , 1 user is following.
I had totally replacement on April 28th this is now May 30th and I feel that I am not doing well at all. the surgery was fine the therapy is good my range is about 125 if not 130 that is not the issue. it's everything else that I'm dealing with. they gave me too many narcotics I came down off too fast, my choice because I couldn't stand it anymore. the appetite is gone I was barely eating 500 calories a day anything I put to my mouth it's like nauseates me it's terrible. I have no saliva very bad issues with constipation but that might be straightened out. I'm just wondering how many people out there can't eat can't sleep are very weak have no energy and it's just an absolutely horrible experience that I'm going through right now. I'm not depressed but I'm very close to it. I can't take antidepressants and I don't want any more drugs in my system. forgot to mention that I've also had a UTI after the 5 days after the surgery and it took three different antibiotics to get the infection out of my system. and we all know what that does to your whole digestive system. I just believe that I was not giving enough information prior to surgery as to other things that could happen in regard to it. I'm slowly learning I'm not alone.
