Waiting for the other shoe to drop. Three weeks + out from surgery (Oct. 3) and I HAVE HAD NO PAIN. I filled my oxy prescription assuming I’d be hurting. My surgeon told me I’d have much less pain than I was expecting. I have had NONE!
Been taking my Tylenol religiously, 2 pills, 3 times a day, plus the antibiotics and the anticoagulant as prescribed and I can honestly say I haven’t hurt at all!
I have had some electric shock sensations as my nerves have started regenerating. And my skin is SO sensitive it’s as though I can feel the air touching it (!) but no pain.
Today was the coldest day so far and I have had a little ache in the joint for the first time but that’s it! Oh, the second week or so I did notice a little pain in the joint when I tried rolling from my back into my right side for a couple of minutes. I’m a left side sleeper and sleeping on my back has been a little challenging.
Good luck, everyone!! Hope my experience eases your fears!!! Can’t wait to have my right knee done in the spring!!!!
