你好Millie, I had a knee replacement a couple of years ago, the first few weeks were really difficult & I got through them by sleeping whenever I could & not putting myself under any pressure to do anything other than focus on getting the knee moving. I found ice packs & meditation to be the most helpful thing for me.it is a massive operation & takes some time to recover from, give yourself a break, be very nice to yourself & take it easy. Good luck...do the exercises!

你好I’m new here .

I gad partial knee end of jan 2021. I found the pain very bad at first and sleeping was difficult as I’m a side sleeper. So I was relying on pain killers which I had to ask my GP for after leaving the hospital. They sent me home with Pregabalin(similar to Gabapentin) and morphine! I was already taking Remedine (paracetamol +dihydrocodeine) as I have a trapped nerve in my back. This wasn’t good for my recovery physio as it affected my ability to move my leg. I’ve since had a steroid injection in my back which had proved to be a bad move as it was excruciatingly painful and has done nothing to improve things .. I am due to be signed off on Friday but my knee is downright refusing to straighten out properly and I am beginning to think that I’ll have to accept how it is . I struggle first thing in the morning to get moving properly. So it’s a rush to get to the loo before I have an accident ! On the subject of this has anyone been told by their GP that taking gabapentin or pregabalin a bit dodgy regarding urinary continence etc ?? I find this a bit worrying. If anyone has had any experience te this please reply . But regarding lack of sleep .. it gets better just ice and rest and try and do the exercises. I’ve read it can take over a year to get feeling right. Im hoping for that . I hope everyone out there gets better soon x

我将在接下来的几个月内进行膝盖替换，并震惊地听到其他人说他们被置于较重的opiod柱上，而不是放松的肌肉，这将干扰腿部肌肉支撑膝盖恢复的能力。我想知道为什么他们没有得到强有力的cocodamol？这种药物会处理极端疼痛而不会影响其他事情，并且与加巴喷丁不同，类似情况也不会上瘾。幸运的是，我被开处方的椰子摩尔被撕裂了，并确保一旦将膝盖手术列出来，我就会有良好的供应。如果我被处方opiod，我将拒绝它们。

你好Yvonne, thanks for your comment. I'm glad your op went well, and yes the exercises to bend the knee seem to be the most important thing for a good recovery and going through the pain will be worth it -I had to do that with the torn meniscus which is much better as a result. Only meds for a few days! My specialist said the first six weeks I may need heavy painkillers... no chance of my cocodamol running out then. It will be good to have support during those early weeks, just waiting now to hear, should be 3-4 months from mid-Jan.
