    Blood thinners

    Thank you all. I still have over a week left on the zaralto . Watching daytime tv a lot since surgery and every half hour there is a commercial about zaralto lawsuits. A little nervous. Sent from my iPad using BoneSmart®

    TKR Queasy, sick feeling

    I'm on my day 20 from second TKR. Both times the drugs made me nauseous. I feel hungry but don't have a taste for anything in particular. I was taking OxyContin and that made me dizzy. Sent from my iPad using BoneSmart®
