I Had A Total Knee Replacement On 11/20/2007. The Pain Is Not Being Controlled And Is Almost Unbearable.?

admin — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 08:52:04 +0000

I am in such pain from a TKR, its been almost 6 weeks. My Doctors tell me it will go away and have conservatively presecribed 5 milligrams of Percoset 2 times a day and Alleive 4 tablets every 4 hours. The Doctors tell me that the underlying tissue has been cut and put back in place and it will take some time. I think the time should have shown some releif (6 weeks). The Doctors are very much against giving narcotic pain medication in fear of addiction. I understand their position but I feel the need for pain medication just to get up from the chair. Physical Therapy is grueling. I feel that I should not have gone through with the operation and would do anything to have my pre operation pain and old knee back. Sometimes I think the Doctors are minimizing or thinking Im boasting the pain level. The implant is fine according to x-rays, there is no infection, my range of motion is about 98 degrees and physical therapy seems to be going well. CAN ANYONE OUT THERE SHARE SOME INSIGHT????

Am I Being Silly Or Weak To Consider Rehab?

admin — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 16:25:11 +0000

I’ve been binge drinking and using drugs 2-4 times a week for about 4 years and have tried to stop but always somehow end up drinking or using again and losing control. I’m now 19 and things have only gotten worse. I’ve been considering rehab as a possible solution, but I don’t think I have any kind of physical dependency and I feel like maybe I’m blowing things out of proportion because there are people with REAL problems. I haven’t used heroin or meth ever, am I being silly?
