My LTKR was May 18th. The knee is getting slowly better and I am down to using the heavy painkillers only at bedtime, as needed. I know that many of us lose our appetites in the early stages of this surgery.
Is it still common for me to have little appetite and daily nausea at this point? I still eat...actually feel a little better when I do eat, but am getting weary about the queasy stomach. I know many of you need stool softners...that is the LAST thing I need, if you know what I mean.
Is this still a side effect of the surgery? I had a spinal rather than general anesthesia, and I can't blame this on vicodin. I'm starting to feel like a whiner, but it would be reassuring to hear that this is not too unusual.
