Knee surgery didn't go as well as expected.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
my father had his knee replaced and it took over a year to feel normal but he loves it now.Hope you have a speedy recovery
 
You have my sympathy with the pain aspect of your trouble. I fully understand the pain that brings tears to your eyes and almost makes you want to puke. hope you get better soon.
 
Thanks everyone. I managed to get about three hours sleep last night, that was actually more than I expected. I still haven't made it off the couch, me and my little girl (rat terrier) are just hanging out. Unfortunately all four of my bedrooms are upstairs so I won't be seeing them for a while. Last time I went two weeks without getting to sleep in bed. Hopefully it will be the same or a little less this time.

I am not looking forward to having to have that done. The doctor told me that I will probably have to have partial or full replacement done on both of my knees within the next 10 years. In my opinion that is pretty bad, I'm only 33 years old. I'm too young for this crap.

I took a Loritab 10 mg and an Ibuprofin 800 mg a couple of hours ago. It has given me some relief for aproximately an hour. The pain is starting to come back strong though. I will take another pain pill in about two hours.

Even when I am having some relief if I move my knee the slightest little bit I feel like screaming. I left a message for the doctor to call me, it would be nice to have an idea what is going on.
 
I'm guessing that playing tennis for a few years did the initial damage but I believe that racing road and mountain bikes finished them off.

that will doit i have problems with both mine from years of down hill skiing
lucky i havent had to have surgery.but the arthritus is bad enuff.
 
I partially tore one of my ACL's skiing when I was about 18. Really should have had that fixed back then. I was young enough that recovery would have been a breeze.

For some reason I have always had knee problems. I guess part of it is just hereditary and part is just abusing them my whole life. Either way, it sucks. I can only see my Red Devil in her 55 gallon tank right now. I can't get to my 210 or 300 to relax and watch them. :(
