    TKR New knee for Drewsie!!

    Well, last night I did pulley flexes, wall squats and took 2 benadryl before bed. I managed to sleep for about an hour and a half before the knee woke me up. Had some herbal tea for bedtime and 2 tylenol 1's and managed to sleep from 3-7 am. Yay!

    TKR New knee for Drewsie!!

    Thanks Celle. That article looks very helpful. Hi Josephine, I'm actually 12 weeks out and off all pain meds, unless of course I overdo it, like trying to swim breast stroke...the frog kick isn't working for me yet. Then I will take 400 mg ibuprofen or 500 mg acetaminophen. I've been signed off...

    TKR New knee for Drewsie!!

    Hi everyone, it's been a while since I've posting. All has been going well. My ROM is 125 and extension is 0. I'm off the painkillers but at night my knees are so restless, I can't sleep. Any suggestions for this?

    TKR New knee for Drewsie!!

    Well, I'm on day 2 of my RTKR and I can't believe how well I feel! My nausea is well controlled unlike my last knee replacement where I vomited for a day and a half. My pain is well controlled, was up and walking today as well. My nerve block comes out tomorrow then home on Saturday. So far so...
