Guest guest Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Hi all...I'm continually amazed, concerned & curious about the many problems some of you are having after surgery. After 3 days in hospital, I came home & took nothing but Excedrin. Nothing. Not even the Rx'd aspirin because Excedrin has aspirin in it. I was bruised like crazy...so what ? Spasms for 2 weeks on which I used an ACE bandage once in a while. Bladder failed 7 days post-op so had a cath & bag for a week. So what ? I drove after 14 days, left TKR foot on clutch, hurt much less than before surgery. PT was started 19 days post-op. I did exactly what I was told. It hurt. So what ? I expected it to hurt. I pushed thru. Don't make a bigger deal of all this than it is. I know about pain & the TKR was a snap compared to other things. Just do it. Best to all, Susie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
