Sorry I haven't posted sooner but this recovery lark is bloody hard work!
I'm Day 18 post op now and things are improving slowly I have had all my dressings removed and the steri strips have come off,I'll pop some pictures on look away if squeamish!
My knee bend is still 45 degrees but I managed to do one leg raise yesterday I know one whole leg raise whoopeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!
Anyway getting over the pain has been a struggle I started on 200 mg of Tramadol morning and night followed by 8 paracetemol a day and up to 50mg Oramorph and it just wasn't helping so my lovely GP came to see me on Friday and put me on a 20mg dose of MST and that seemes to have helped I am taking up to 20mg of Oramorph for breakthrough pain and will probably need to up the dose to 30mg MST this week.
The pain seems a lot better for now :)
