You should have watched the OP and listened to the chatter from the care people.Just had my op today,I spoke about being awake for it! No problem at all,was very relaxed, didn't feel a thing and just listend to my music.Now I'm starting my recovery journey
Don't push through the pain, you'll only make your tissue more inflamed. Now, is the time to get a lot of rest. Sleep, ice, and elevated as much as you can for the next month or so. This gives your knee time to heal before stressing it with exercises.I hope the pain doesn't last too long, I'm trying to push past it.
@Twinny i was able to sleep on my side. It took a month with the first knee, little sooner with the other. I personally was more comfortable ON my operative side, with a pillow between my legs.Dose anyone have a good sleep position? I'm sick of laying on my back.
Agree. I rested my cryocuff sleeve on the knee and then had my good leg bent and resting on a pillow in front.found that sleeping on my surgical side was more comfortable
