I am 22 days post op and my leg is GREAT ! My leg has healed well, I have very good ROM, don't take pain pills beyond Tylenol (after about 2 weeks the side effects kicked in so I tried without - I DO NOT RECOMMEND stopping painkillers, you definitely need them to stay on top of it all - the exercises etc)> BUT , I now have lower back pain I've never had and I can't seem to get rid of it. It was on the right (knee done was left) , now it's left. Am I doing something wrong? I dont use a cane much at all. I try but there's no leg pain. I try to walk with 2 canes but just for around the house I seem okay. Maybe this is a mistake.. has anyone had lower back pain after surgery? Is it just a coincidence or maybe I'm favouring one side or something. anyways, tips welcome.
And for everyone with less recovery time than me, I must say the leg is doing well and I don't regret it for a second. BUT .. I sure don't want to trade one pain for another. Thanks !
