Last night the pain started coming. I remember last time someone telling me that after 24 hours all the medication that they used during surgery etc. may start to wear off, and my incision sites started to throb. I think the pain pump has dubious value because I turned it off this morning before seeing my doctor, took 2 vicodin, and felt better than I had with the pain pump, also feel like I have more control of my leg.
Was at the doctor's to have my dressing changed, and the pain pump 'catheter' removed, man they need to shave everywhere they put tape, because the catheter was inserted close to the tenders, having it ripped off super sucked. you would think shaving would be standard procedure, maybe would think about shaving myself, upper thigh over to the 'balzac' region on the leg getting operated on just so that would not be an issue.
Try and do leg lifts, keep a pillow if you can underneath your heel trying to keep the leg straight and stretched out. PT in a couple of hours.
