@Rhodyrhody I am getting slowly better at getting around. I can walk unaided but I still drag the walker around for balance. I don’t lean on it at all, though. My pain level is between 0 and 2 when I’m sitting/relaxing and 2-3 when up and moving. At night it can sometimes climb to 5ish. I am still taking pain meds, though.
@MCC I just tried elevating last night and it helped for most of the night. Previously, I had not been. I did have to readjust at 3:30am, but it definitely worked better. Thanks for the advice! I can’t wait until I can sleep on my side again!
Glad to hear you're getting around and the pain seems manageable!
Are you able to sit for long without your legs elevated?
What does that do to your pain level?
