Before I begin, I'd like to thank the people who started this wonderful site. I found it at my three week mark, when I was at my lowest point due to depression, cabin fever, and withdrawals from the heavy duty pain meds. It truly is a life saver since it has answered most of my questions about my recovery and let me know that I am not alone.
I'm post-op 12 weeks RTKR with very little pain, 125 flexion and 0 extension. I only take one Tramadol and one Tylenol with codeine a day and nothing at bedtime. However, I have restless nights due to wanting to sleep on my stomach, but afraid I will damage my new knee. I haven't found much on this subject and the one thing I did find said no crossing legs, or sleeping on stomach. Yet, my OS said I can do anything with it because I couldn't hurt it (he did caution me about running and doing high impact sports, but mostly because it will wear out sooner). I'm hoping someone out there has some advice. Thanks in advance!!
