Relaxing after surgery

[Trash man]

had my knee surgery today, i torn the mensicus(sp?) in it last year but figured at the time i had just pulled a muscle, well it finally got to the point where it was hurting nearly everyday so i went to the doctor and got a MRI done and thats when they found the tear. so far no meds needed. i have a script for vicoden but doubt ill take that. the only pain was being there at 6:20 this morning to get orperated on. the funny part was when me and one of the nurses were talking bout happy gilmore then i woke up in recovery and another nurse is the mother of a girl who i went to school with

so far no meds needed.

Most of the pain from surgery will hit the day after.

You probably can... just don't write off the need for the pain meds just yet.

im not, just rather not take them, esp since i got a CDL. my buddy is gettin me after he does his brake lines for a lil bit of cat fishing tonight

Joe's right. The pain jits a day or two later. Mine felt like I was kicked in the side of the knee really hard. It was just a really deep sore feeling.

In a week or two, you'll be glad you had it done and didn't let it go.

Man If I ever have to go through surgery, Ima get all the meds I can. But never broke a bone or nothing so never been to a hospital for my own reasons. lol

heres the funny thing, no pain at all, its a lil sore but nothing that i need a pill for. the vicodin is still sitting on my counter, mostly becuz theres no pain but partly because im at work and cant drive a CDL truck while on that stuff. its bending pretty good but i aint pushing it for a while

[Joe 1320]

That's great.

sounds like your doing well.. When I had my shoulder surgery a couple of years back, I never ended up taking anything other then advil.. I had the drugs, but just didn't take them.

I have a reaction to certain drugs and drugs like vicodin or tyleno with codeine string me out, just the reverse of what they do to most people. Tried them a few times for other surgery's, but not worth the side effects..

Most of the pain will be in the first few days. Keep icing it to keep the swelling down..

knees are no fun....for sure .guy in my office got a brand new one in Dec..he's still limping..........

messed mine up years ago..took me over a year to get back halfway to normal...alls well now though...

best of luck
