    Default Knee replacement

    Anybody had a knee replacement done? Dear GOD this fuckin' hurts.....and the Oxycodone/Percocet only keeps me awake, and makes me itch. Day 2, they say Day 3 is the worst one. Fuck me......

    Haven't had knee replacement but I'm with you on the opioids. Can't sleep at all, they don't really do anything for the pain for me, make me itch all over and I get constipated. I just refuse to take them. I'd rather deal with the pain.

    Good luck...

    Just found out today that a 6oz juice glass of lightly warmed prune juice does wonders for constipation. But warmed, not cold.

    I didn't but both my parents did. Yeah, I know it sucks at first. Have you started PT yet?

    My mom had her knee replaced when she was 97 She cannot take opioids so she used CBD transdermal patches and said they managed her pain better than any prescription drugs (before and after the knee replacement). She continues to use them for chronic back pain.

    Maybe it is inflammation. Have you tried prednisone? Tylenol? Ibuprofen?

    hate reading threads like this because one day, in the not so distant future, I'll be looking at two total knee replacements. Not looking forward to it.

    Good luck and hope the pain begins to ease soon for ya.
    Laws aren't "preventable" measures. IOW, more gun laws won't stop mass shootings.

    Me too. My right knee is 80-90 gone and the latest round of injections isn't doing great. Still nursing a sprain in the left knee about 8 weeks now. Tomorrow is Antelope opener but we're mostly road hunting private land in 105.

    Hope you feel better soon Ron.

    Looking at getting a replacement in a few months, Lube injections aren't working and Steroids don't last. Not looking forward to PT but need to do something!

    Supposed to take 1 hr and it sounds like a routine procedure like a brake job. Kazoo had some great advice on metal allergies, certainly worth checking out.
