TKR Progress report

[Oldladyrunner]

I'm down to naproxen in the morning and a Tramadol in the middle of the night, when I get restless legs. Any thoughts on what I can take for the restless legs?

5 months out, I can now sleep without Tramadol, or any meds. Just got back from Walt Disney World, where I did a 5K (3.1 miles), and walked all over ( between 10 and 13 miles/day). I will admit I took a Tramadol, naprosen and 2 tylenols on the day of my 5K, and only did a 20 minute/mile pace. Then went on a cruise and did another 5K on Castaway Cay less than a week later. Yes, I took meds. I had no swelling and was able to get by on just Tylenol for most of the trip. There is light at the end of the tunnel.
