I am 8 weeks out RTKR and still having trouble sleeping. I have been using Ambien CR for the last 2 1/2 weeks and thought that I would try a night without it....I was up all night! Please someone tell me it will get better!!
Hess,
If it is knee pain that is keeping you from getting comfortable enough to sleep and the pain is not relieved enough by Alive or Tylenol..... taking a sleep formula will not take away the pain. You have to deal with the pain itself.
At 8 weeks many of us "winter knees" were still taking pain meds at least *some* of the nights. Why are you not willing to take a vicodin or 1/2 of one if it will allow you to sleep, heal, and live your normal life?
It is normal to still have pain at 8 weeks.
I hope you find relief soon.
