It's very painful. Each day I'm getting stronger. Wish I knew easy exercises to lift and bend. The one the staff gave me is hard lol.

A friend of mine who is a PT thought people who could not lift their legs after joint replacement were faking it. Until he had a hip replacement, and could not lift his leg.I said I can't lift she said yes you can.
Very standard stuff; many of us watched Youtube videos of the operation prior to surgery.He said he had to flip my knee cap over. And realign my knee.
Lots of icing will help. And be sure to keep up on the pain meds too. As for sleeping, that will come with time; take catnaps when you can for now.Not trying to over Do it. I set and cry so hard. I don't sleep at night.
I take tylonal with codeine. Perk 10 make me sick so given zophrsm and flrxeral 10 evey 4 hr on perk. If in pain before 4 hrs then can take a tylonal with codeine. And flex every 6 hrs Usually have take tylonal to. Or ibrupution. It's mainly night or if I'm comming ØFf cpm or if I've did wxcercises. Docs is aware. He said ky would be hard on me. My patella was removed. He said it be more pain but shorter recovery. Lots I'ce and elevation. But last night I was able to sleep 3 hrs on side with pillow and use under a thin pillow case. I don't like pain Meds. And pain is like a throb. He aslo told me that I would fill pain I've never felt before. Cause muscles I'm leg never worked before. And when they wake up as he nurse and therapist said would be uncomfortable. The spasms is what gets me. Thank for the letter. Any idea would be helpful.
