Hi everyone. Figured I would get on here and post some things to help get my mind off this pain. I must say, I am hurting very bad. I am 2 days post op for my partial knee. I had a patellafemoral joint replacement done on 12/4. Stayed 1 night in the hospital and then came home with percocet 10/325 and a pain pump. My pain pump ran out today and was removed. I am having extreme pain in my thigh and of course in the knee. This is definitely more pain than my shoulder sugery and also more than the pain from my tibial tubercle osteotomy with lateral release and subsequent major infection in 2013. I know the percocet is doing something, but it sure doesnt feel like it. I had in home pt come today and had me do a few things. I tried to go to sleep but the pain was to much and my wife is at the hospital with our son and daughter in law who is having our first grandchild atm. I have a cryo cuff from my shoulder surgery in 2007 that im going to have her get out for me when she gets here to see if it will help some and will get some pillows to elevate my leg as well. Ive read some of the threads on here and it seems the consensus is to not be very active and allow the knee to rest which is opposite of what I have been doing. However, I plan to remain very static the rest of tonight and tomorow.
