Hi. I am in chronic pain after 2 failed TKR on the same knee. I now only have 5% of flexion and straight.
In July 2018 I had a spinal cord stimulator inserted to help cope with the pain. I was told because it is knee pain it’s extremely difficult to control the pain. Well the stimulator has certainly helped with pain when I still still but I still need to keep my leg elevated and when I weight bear it goes from 0- 10.
I can’t walk very far either. So, this Thursday they are going to insert a morphine pump. At the moment I am still on Palexia 100 SR morning and night. I am hoping once they get the pump at the right level I will be able to get off the tablets.
I was wondering what other people’s experience are once they have had the morphine pump inserted. Thanks so much
