Hello,
I had my 2nd TKR 2/28. I felt rushed out of hospital since I was vomiting as they wheeled me out. Went to ER on Friday because my oxygen was dropping to 72. While there my blood pressure was 165/125 at one point and later I saw labs showing my troponin level was 74 but nothing mentioned. Have not had a blood pressure problem in the past. They sent me home recommending I cut my OxyContin dose by half since I mentioned 10mg was making me kind of delusional. Because I am on xaralto for 30 days, I can’t take any nsaids and am limited. Dr called in Tramadol yesterday but I couldn’t sleep all night. Between the pain and having to pee very often from stool softener. I was desperate I took a gabapenten that I had.
Sorry for rambling but I am so confused and definitely need my sleep.
Thank you!
Carol
