Knee surgery done; lots of pain

Glad to hear the surgery went well! Everyone I know that has the surgery has said that the pain is off the charts, especially the first few days! I hope that they are able to find the right combination of meds for you... keep asking!

Sending positive energies your way and looking forward to hearing a good report!

Praying for a quick recovery and relief from your pain. I guess I'm the exception to the rule--I've had both knees done and will have one of the replacements replaced this summer ( they've both been in over 15 years). I sailed through both operations--not much pain and out of the hospital at about 2 days. Back then they hooked you up to a passive resistance machine that kept your knee in constant motion--loved it !! PT wasn't much fun--but it's great that you are up and moving around. Just know that LOTS of people are thinking of you and wishing you well. Never fear Gus IS looking for you !!

Im glad surgery went well. Hopefully they can get the pain under control. Good to see you back!

Sorry you are in pain hope it gets better soon.

Sorry that pain is bad but I understand that is normal.  Hopefully in a couple days and you will be working on your new journey.

The more you can be up and around, the quicker you will heal.  Try ice and if that does not help, try heat.  You do not want that joint to stiffen up.

Yep, have ice packs on it (and under it today as well, since I was having a lot of swelling behind the knee) the entire time I am in bed. They won't let us get out of bed or walk alone, but some of the nurses are willing to walk with me a short distance (only allowed to walk

Its good to hear from you.IM sorry for your pain, praying for you.

So glad this surgery is over for you.  Now to get the pain under control.  Keep us posted Lora and thanks for taking the time to let us know how it went.  We all have been wondering.  Jane

Knees are a painful replacement. Try and find just the right combo of pain meds not only for a regular regimine but for break through pain as well.  Hit 100 grams of protein a day for fast healing.  Consider 300 mg of gabapentin 3 times a day along with liquid Tylenol to bridge with.  I promise that within two months you will be saying "what knee?". This will all just be a memory.  Have you in my prayers every day.  Allison
