 SO thankful to hear you are safe and sound Miss D! I couldn't imagine losing everything, especially the pictures and things like that, that are truly irreplaceable. My heart goes out to you for what you've been through! If there is anything we can help with, please please let me know! I'm still unable to get into my messages, but you have been on my heart and mind.
I'm unable to take narcotics as well, they make me hallucinate, vomit, etc. I don't see how or why people enjoy that crap, but with all the surgeries I have needed, taking two ibuprofen and one extra strength Tylenol at the same time has always worked. It gives the same pain relief without the side effects of narcotics. I hope you get some relief soon and the pain doesn't hinder your healing process  love and prayers are continually heading your way my friend!
God bless you L--I'm headed to bed with some Ibuprofen and bottle of water beside me in case I need them during the night!! Please just keep our area in your prayers as they are so much appreciated--some people still don't have power and some have lost everything. . . |

Dang woman, looks like you hit a barrel!  ,,,,, But really so glad that your doing so well, maybe when you take the weight off of it and its not working then thats when the pain sets in,but while your moving around and working the knee a little it helps to keep the pain and inflammation away. looks like it might get a bit stiff while resting.  |

I think that's exactly it, because after PT, it usually feels better for a few hours. Not as achy or stiff. You are so smart Dr R!!!! |

My knee would start hurting at night and the Tommie Copper knee sleeve helped with that. I would also hang my knee off the bed and swing it back and forth. That will loosen it up and get bloodflow going and lessen the pain. I slept with my leg straight. Continued prayers! Ice works great but just use 20 minutes on and 20 minutes off. |

That sounds exactly like me! And I'm gonna order one of those TC sleeves. Did you wait til the incisions were completely healed? Mine are just about scabbed over but not quite. . . |
