I had my surgery on the 28th of August. Hospital stay was not the greatest. Pain management was and still is an issue. I am on a med that I used just to function before I had the surgery, so I think I have a tolerance. My first post op dr visit is on the 10th. My rom is about 90, nine days out from suregery, but I get depressed and seem to cry a lot. Anyone have that same problem? I get dressing changed daily and home PT daily, but that may change after my appt on the 10th. It really helps to have care at home. My husband is staying home with me for the first three weeks or so, or longer, if need be. I talked to lots of folks who have had TKR and they ALL assure me that they would do it again. At this point, I wouldn't and question daily if I did the right thing.
I use a CPM machine and it has been great, but yesterday it started to really hurt at about 93 so I am backing off. Anyone have that problem too? The PT says that it can aggrevate the knee. It is encouraging to read other's experiences> I do know that folks who have both done at once are truly superhuman.
