    TKR TKR June 2. It's the little things like burning and nausea!

    Haha, thanks for the update! Glad you have no worries for cardiac issues! I suspect the same thing you do about the oxy keeping the nausea at bay...exactly the opposite of what you would think. I'm just glad I spotted your post so I know it's not just me. BUT, at some point we're going to run...

    TKR TKR June 2. It's the little things like burning and nausea!

    I just found your post in a search. I'm having a similar experience with nausea since starting to taper off the oxycodone. I'm just starting week 4 and a few days ago I started swapping out some of my doses with Extra Strength Tylenol. Ever since then I feel nauseated quite a bit. How are you...

    MUA Ruby's Tuesday--July 11th, 2017<

    Ruby9297, I'm one day behind you and my leg is at least as swollen as yours. Black & Blue in many places too. This is worse than I expected (pain-wise), even though everyone said it's bad.

    Ruby9297, I hear ya! I've been off my usual pain relief regimen for 2 days now, and every day it gets harder to move. Pheebs52, I agree that Tylenol is not cutting it! Good to know it may be useful post surgery. Re: Ice, I originally planned to buy a CryoCuff or one of the ice machines but then...

    My CPM machine was delivered today...this is really happening! Is anyone else using one? Happydale, I tried to add my surgery date (July 12) to my signature, but I guess you have to have 10 posts before it will let you edit that field (?).

    I'm with you Ruby! I look forward to going up and down stairs like a normal person! I'm hoping I can get up and down from the floor...something I haven't easily been able to do in years. 9 days to go!

    Pre Surgery Class Today

    Wow, my docs don't have a pre-op class. I was able to meet with the doctor the day of my pre-op clearance testing for 15 min to ask questions, so that was helpful. They mailed me a packet of loose papers with various information, but not a timeline for recovery or medication timing guidelines. I...
