Those pain pills, all of them, make me get constipated so I always wind up drinking a lot of prune juice. I am not particularly happy about that part of pain management either.Went to bathroom last night amd barely made it back to bed, I was going to pass out. Same thing twice this morning. Finally brain kicked in and I got my nighttime oxygen and put it on. Made a difference and I didn’t start to “swoon” so I will wear it for a few days.
Just when you think it can not hurt anymore; it does. All the anesthesia has worn off now and the pain is awful, plus it’s stiffen up a lot. I need to walk more but can’t cause if I up any time at all, I start to pass out. I see the doctor next week and will see what he thinks if the passing out doesn’t stop.
I am using a half of a mild pain pill, I don’t want to take the strong ones amd my knee hurts and is stiff as well. Fortunately, I’ve lost all the water weight that I gained, according to the scale, but both legs are still very swollen and both hurt. Giving up trying to put the fitbit on my ankle, it’s too swollen.
I hope that you get beyond this quickly.
