@Josephine - oops just read you advice not to do - okay won't do again
Milosnanna - I've said before, paracetamol is NOT enough for a TKR at 4-6 weeks. That's slap bang in the middle of the 'angry tissue' stage. You got some Tramadol from your GP - has s/he told you to only take one a day? What is written on the pharmacists label? Usually it says 1-2 tablets every 4-6 hours. And why are you worried about taking it? Even just take one tablet 2 times a day would be better than what you are doing.Was worried about taking the tramadol but I guess it worked and only taking one a day. The rest of the day I take paracetamol and ice.
With good reason. You're already doing too much for where you are at.My girls and hubby have been offering to take me out for a drive by I am scared of being g uncomfortable. Perhaps I will try it this weekend.
I suggest you don't do this. Don't make yourself ditch the walker. Time will come when you walk across the room and find you've forgotten it! And don't push your knee to straighten. It's the walking that will do it. That's it.Today I have walked without having the walker. Really don't know if I am doing it properly as I am trying not to limp so taking it slow. Any advice on when you went without walker? Also tried one crutch to try and straighten.
Not many, my pet!I guess I was trying to rush things.
Well in my book that would be enough for about 2 days so I suggest you phone and ask that since they appear to be working for you, can you have another prescription.Doctor only gave me 10 tramadol the day before yesterday so decided to just take one at night don't know if they will give me more but I could ask
