I am exactly 2 weeks post op today after a left TKR and I feel the pain is getting worse in my knee instead of better, so much so it's limiting how much physio I am able to do. I seem to be starting to get the feeling bak in the kneecap and it's just a constant louping and jaggy pain. Is this normal? Didn't sleep so good last night for the first time.
I went out to the shops with my husband yesterday for the first time and am wondering if perhaps I could have overdone it. was in a wheelchair in the first shop and an electric buggy in the second so I didn't do terribly much walking although more than I've done since getting the op.
I still also have pain in my quads, calf, behind the knee and ankle. Is this normal at this stage?
Was on slow release oxycontin 30mg twice a day, This is my third day of wearing a bu-trans 10 patch which is changed weekly, take ecoxicarb 60mg and can take paracetamol 1G 4 times a day if required which it definetely is at the moment.
Wondering if this is perhaps just a stage of healing and a lot of people experience it.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
