Hi all. Thanks for your input it’s much appreciated. My GP has been brilliant and confirmed it’s not the aspirin, but Codeine causing my v low BP, dizziness problems. I am now only taking one at night and it’s made a huge difference - that and taking aspirin in the morning rather than evening, and upping the Paracetamol. I did some BP checks and although it’s still low, it’s not making me feel light headed and sleepy as before.
Doc laughed when I mentioned my cold feet - he said well,if you’re icing your knee a lot of the day, the cold blood will travel from knee to feet! So it’s layers of socks for me!
First PT yesterday all went v well, not pushing me for ROM, happy with the extension which has yet to straighten completely but heading in the right direction, told me to carry on doing what I’m doing and will see me again next week once staples removed. To me my knee looks huge, but he said there’s only a moderate amount of swelling for only 12 days on.
So all in all, so far so good.....best wishes to you all who are pre and post op!
