My wife had one done last summer. The first few months were pretty bad, but it took 3 1/2 months before she could sleep through the night, and after 4 or 5 months she finally started to feel better off than before the surgery.
They never give you enough narcotics. Knee replacements are painful!
My husband is having his knee scoped again in 9 days. This will be his 9th. The doctor told him he was a good candidate for knee replacement.
He’s not yet 50 and refuses to even consider it. He deals with constant pain and does not use narcotics.
I am sending this atricle to him tomorrow. Thank you for posting it.
Starwise,...Wow!... A blood clot to the lung. What a scary time for you. After reading your post, I said an extra prayer of gratitude that everything has gone so well with my surgery. I hope you are fully recovered from your knee surgery and the blot to the lung.
