knee replacement
7 weeks ago today i had a total knee replacement done on my right knee.
i went home 2 days later...had a visiting nurse 3 times and a physical therapist 6 times who released me because i was 0-122 in flexing and 4 out of 5 strength.
I do everything except run and jump.
My question is this...WHEN is this going to stop hurting? The ache is constant...and consuming.
I go back to the doctor next week. He told me that i will like him in 6 months.
Does that mean i will be in constant pain until that time?
What can i do to make this better?
I elevate and ice as much as i can. I take a pain pill three times a day.
But i am so tired of this.
