I had total knee replacement surgery on the 12th of Dec. I came home on the 14th and now I m on Percoset - 1 every 4 hours. I have two pain problem issues
Dear patient pain post TKR surgery is common for initial 3 to 4 days due to tissue handling and inflammation. Hematoma in the joint and tension may lead to pain. There is nothing to worry.  If percent is not helping you can shift to tab aerosol SP twice a day. Keep limb elevated to reduce swelling. Ice packs can be applied to reduce inflammation. If pain does not decrease after 5 days please consult your operating surgeon.
