Thanks, Friends! Good to hear from all you.
Turns out, that after many discussions, I was encouraged to again try the Oxycodone I had from other surgery...
Can take 1 or 2 every 6 hrs...took one, hour later, pain had NOT let up behind knee, so took the 2nd one allowed...2 hrs later, NADA!
Got up and got two gel ice packs and wrapped around top and back of knee (behind) and laid back down... woke up with pain finally lowered.
Told surgeon today...he wants me to get to Hosp. this PM to have a check for clots done... and prescribed muscle relaxant...that is the calf/behind knee pain on operative knee where I tore the hamstring back in fall of 11'.
He thinks might be related!
We keep trying... something when 2 oxycodone won't touch the pain I've struggled with and it appears to be something that might be something else...
Can't see reason for blood clot... so figure more of a muscle spasm due to prior damage and now it's double ticked off at me after surgery!
People who had it done tell me I'm getting around way better in 7 days then they have, but they do NOT know the pain I'm in and it's hampering how much rehab I'm doing! Can't get where I need to be laying back on rehab!
Thanks for prayers and for encouragement...I can use both.
IF I'm actually moving around better then some, I guess it's living alone and having to push harder to eat, move, use bathroom, etc... so in spite of pain, I've had to DO more...
NO clots will be grand...news...Christmas present as it were!
