Hi all,
I am feeling stronger and am trying to stay away from Ibuprofen. It is upsetting my stomach so badly. I will be 5 weeks post op on Tuesday. I've stopped doing intensive PT exercises and my pain is down. For the past 2 nights I haven't had excruciating pain. You guys were right lay off the PT or at least not as intense. I started walking up and down my long drive way about 50 yards without a cane. I started feeling blue on Friday-just tired of not being able to do what I normally do but my energy level and state of mind improved later.
My question is: My knees are very hot-when does this go away. I ice but then the heat comes back. Does it mean I am doing too much? Also when is the time frame that one can start driving? I drive an automatic.
Thanks in advance for answering my questions.
