This is a revision to the total knee replacement I had 5 years ago. I'm home now, only hospitalized overnight.RTR wrote:4th knee surgery? Good grief Charlie Brown! Same knee? Is a replacement an option? Those have improved a lot.

I hear ya....i was 16 when I had my knee surgery. The doctor told me to take my pain meds when it hurt...the problem was it hurt all the time. I know its not your first knee rodeo, but whatch out. An opiate dependancy is hell compared to what you feel now. Speedy recovery onward!Pufferpunk wrote:It went well but I'm in agony.

Wow, alot has been going on since i was last on. I got a new general manager at my dealership so i have been having looon days with his new changes. Lot more money though. Lol
Glad to see you are doing good after surgery. I have had 5 on my right knee since my army days. 4 arthroscopies, and 1 acl reconstruction, removed 2/3's meniscus on both sides of my right knee, had two bucket tears, removal of bone spurs, and also had every ligament except my pcl repaired. I was in that machine that bent and unbent my knee for two weeks then 8 months of physical therapy. I got lorotabs(double dosed vicadins) for pain management. I know your pain and what kind of recovery it takes to make you mobile again. Good luck.
I willbe getting a knee replacement sometime in the future too. I have degenerative joint disease, plageria(softening under the knee cap) and no cartilage in my right knee. I can still run for a bit and the constant pain has gone away for the last 4 years but i still get pain from time to time. I am not looking forward to this surgery later on..

Yesterday, the pain was a 7-9 all day & they made me do PT with that.
I got a nerve-blocking med added to the pain meds & this morning I woke up at a 2-3!

I hope it passes soon. Personally, I do not handle real pain well at all. I turn into super grump and am unfit company for other humans. Hound dogs are better company when I am in that node.

Ouch, ouch, ouch! I guess, movement = speedy recovery. I too hope this one gives you the results you need.
