    Problems with Right TKA Revision: I can’t believe I’m posting again. Actually, somehow I lost this site in computer land. Anyway, my right Revision was done in Feb. 2020. I did everything by the book, and was ok for awhile. I started having more pain however, causing a lot of difficulties...

    Well, just FYI, I had acupuncture couple of days ago. Has anyone else ? It’s hard to say if it helped. I think it did somewhat as my pain is less, yet maybe it’s also time for pain to be less ? Slept better. I think I’ll go once again and see. I haven’t played around with insurance issues...

    Thank you, I totally agree. While I want this process to move on, I want to do it without more pain, or hurting myself. I talked with my PT, and even he was surprised that I was told that. I believe my thoughts are somewhere in the middle, I’m doing everything I possibly can, and I need to...

    Thank you. Yet, when I saw my surgeon for first follow up, he said he wanted me to start with outpatient rehab because I needed more “aggressive “ therapy instead of home health ! What’s with these doctors, ect. I’ll take heed .

    Doing a little better, pain level from a 7 to a 6. So sick of trying to get comfortable....seems like I have restless legs (Uh, knee). Swelling like a balloon, which doesn’t make it easy to bend, or hardly at all. PT said I was at 76. I had some prednisone for this knee for pain/swelling...

    @newlybionic Thank you. I don’t mind tapering off, but give me something to taper with. Appointment today went well, I did voice my opinion on this, and I was reminded not to wait until last minute for meds. That is true, but still......plus the answer I was given by the “on-call” doctor, was...

    @KnitChica No, it doesn’t make it anymore bearable that we’ve been through it before. Well, I left message with doctor this morning, and they did prescribe the Percocet 10/325, thank god. The thing is.....and this happened to me before, it was a weekend and holiday, but that should be no excuse...

    @ One Trick Pony Thank you for your response. I don’t know why I get in these predicaments a lot. Ive been on Percocet 10/325. It says q 4 as needed. Home health Nurse said take it around the clock. Couple times I had to take in middle of night. I called the surgeons office because doing...
