O.K., I can accept the waking up at all hours of the night. I was on call for the majority of my police career and am used to odd hours. I can catch up on sleep.
What is really starting to concern me is my almost constant need for pain pills.
I'm now 3wks3days post tkr and I am pretty much having to stay on some type of pill. The Dr. gave me some heavier stuff for night time. I try to gut it out and not take them but I get a deep constant soreness. Ice helps but I was told to limit it to 20 mins. at a time.
Anybody have any addiction concerns?? Has anybody who has slowed down with the pills had any withdrawal problems?
It just scares me. I did work vice/narcotics for a part of my career and have seen the negative effects first hand.
Maybe I've just been awake for too long. I'm just sitting here in a dark house worrying.
