    TKR Dilemma with knee. Help!

    I am taking Tramadol, but my script says only every 12 hours. Taking Motrin 800’s every 8 hrs along with Tylenol. I don’t feel that the pain meds are helping much. Dr gave me Neurontin, but was causing involuntary twitching throughout my body.

I have been doing those and trying to pull as much as I can, then hold it. The last couple days, I have switched back to the walker and have not...

    TKR Dilemma with knee. Help!

    Hi Andy, Thanks for responding. I do think you are right about overdoing a little. I have also been going out a lot shopping. Even just going to the pharmacy and grocery store exhausts me. I have been using a cane. The other day, my boyfriend wanted me to go to Duluth trading which they didn’t...
