    Hi all. Thanks for the advice you all have given. Spoke to my doctor today and he was shocked that I was sent home from hospital with just paracetamol. Been prescribed with co-codomol 30/500 and that seems to be helping.

    The only pain killers that I have is paracetamol every 4-6 hours. Anti inflammatory twice a day and blood thinners every 24 hours. Leg aching 80% of the day. Is this normal or do people have better pain control?

    Day 4 over and by far the worst day. Hoping day 5 will be better. On the positive side managed to sleep till 0320 and the swelling went down alot due to the rest I took. Need to stop being a wimp and understand it is going to hurt some days.

    Day 4 started at 0100. Feel fine but can't find a position in bed to sleep. Leg swollen quite bad but overall pain under control. Resting and doing exercises seem to dominate. Expecting the pain to kick in today as it is day 4. Will update you all this afternoon.

    Well today is day 3. Sat at home with glass of wine doing a half marathon tomorrow but going by what people say tomorrow the pain will slap me round the head. Doing my exercises and keeping my knee mobile.

    No green light arrived so still at hospital. Been up and about this morning. Been for a walk around the car park. Totally amazed at my recovery pain under control. Running a half marathon this afternoon unless it gets cancelled due to bad weather.

    Hi guys. Live about 3 mile from hospital and it looks like I may well be going home today. Been given my goody bag to go home with just waiting for a green light from the consultant. Physio all sorted.

    Hi all. It's 4am and been watching tv for the last hour. Had a slight blip yesterday. Passed out at 10am and caused a panic in the hospital. Lol crash button pressed but really ok now. They think I had a bad reaction to an injection. All good now. Walking to the toilet ok and doing my exercises...
