Marina blue Gilda, I was four months out shortly after you and I have not used the Oxycodone for over two months. I switched to Tramadol in October and pretty much stopped that in early November. I now take an Aleve and maybe Tylenol if I hurt. The limping can definitely be contributing to your aches and imbalances. I know this will sound wierd but work hard on making yourself not limp. The limping can become a habit and so you need to force yourself not to do it. One aid is to high step march in place , do it in the kitchen in front of the sink where you can grab for balance. Another is walk in pool to get your gait to correct. My PTs drilled the not limping into me and I am glad they did as it is easy to especially when the knee does not feel quite right or hurts. I still limp a little first fe steps from getting up as I can still be stiff but once I gat going I work hard on being even. The more correctly I walk the less I ache.Ok...here I go...I was 4 months out the 23rd of Dec. I still have some knee pain and this cold weather doesn't help much.
Do you think I still need to be taking my oxycodon/acetaminophen? I am down to 1 every 12 hrs and if I try to go without one of those, I feel awful! I hurt all over, especially my hips and my knee. I still walk most of the time with a limp too. Ortho says to try cutting down to 1 a day and take motrin extended relief when I need it..Tried that and it didn't help.
Got any opinions on that? Hugs to all of you !! And a very Happy New Year !!!!
United StatesI would be too tame for him then. I am like you, put my feet up and get on the forum. I realized the other day that I have been spending so much time on this forum that I have not posted on FB in a few months. I get so much more support and feedback here that I like it so much better!

You know, I just figured out what ROTFL meant. Boy am I dense! WOW! I get the really stupid award today. But yes, Dave might have trouble keeping up with me now that I joined the "Hooker Club". You know the image I have in my mind? Does anyone read Janet Evanovich Stephanie Plum series? You know her friend who used to be a hooker and is now her "helper"? That is what comes to mind!You know the image I have in my mind? Does anyone read Janet Evanovich Stephanie Plum series? You know her friend who used to be a hooker and is now her "helper"?
