Hello fellow bonesmarters, I've been hanging out here for almost 5 years, ever since my first TKR on my left knee back in 2016. well my right knee must have became jealous of all the pain free days the left knee was experiencing and decided to act up.
After two years of various temporary fixes, I went ahead and replaced the right knee.
current condition:
5 days out from surgery. trying to get the pain meds ratio together. still in a lot of pain. actually felt really good the first two days and probably got cocky with trying to walk and exercise.
currently I'm taking
acetaminophen (500 mg tablets) 2 tablets 3 times a day
baby aspirin (81mg) 1 tablet twice a day
Meloxicam (15 mg) 1 tablet daily
Metaxalone (also called skelaxin 800 mg) 1 tablet 3X's a day
Tramadol 50 mg
Oxycodone 5 mg.
The narcotic medicine is taken only when needed. these first days I'm taking one of each every 8 hours
right now the major issue is the pain whenever I change position and walking with a walker. very slow and painful yikes!!
