TKR Sharon’s second knee recovery!

[Sks1997]

@Susie-Q I long for the day when I am NOT thinking about my knees and able to do the things that I want and need to do without significant pain.
I do try very hard not to dwell on it or allow the pain to stop me from doing things that I like to do. I take a lot of breaks and sometimes I have to medicate to help me get thru some of those things! There is a drug that has Ibuprofen and Pepcid in it that I can actually tolerate and I take it occasionally.
I hold onto the hope that I WILL totally heal someday soon!

There is a drug that has Ibuprofen and Pepcid in it that I can actually tolerate and I take it occasionally.

I might have to look into this.... my body has reached its limit with taking Ibuprofen. (heartburn, esophageal issues...). I finally see the gastroenterologist this week. Everything is fine if I take a daily omeprazole but I want to find out if there's something going on that can be fixed before I resign myself to taking one every day forever. (I know others out there do so it's an option)

I hold onto the hope that I WILL totally heal someday soon!

I sure hope/pray so!

@Susie-Q I could never take Ibuprofen because it rips my stomach up so badly. My sister in law gave me some of these Ibuprofen with Pepcid and they seem to do ok. I really try not to take them much because Ibuprofen is not really a good drug to take. It can raise blood pressure and of course is very hard on the GI system.
The drug is called Duexis.
