First day was great, no pain & could "race" my wheeled walker down the hall (It's a snazzy metallic blue job with mag wheels, but drum brakes
Well folks, someone told me the 2nd day was a Beeyotch - they twernt lying!!!!
The muscles all start to tighten up and getting things to move & bend becomes very problematic. Also, all that wonderful anesthetic they used on the surgery sight has worn off and now you can FEEL it!
Reminds me of all the muscle soreness after the 1st day of HS football practice, and it's all located in your knee.
Looks like I'll be using the "Blue Racer" for awhile before graduating to a cane.
Gotta start my stretching exercises and take a pain pill! And so it goes.
Takes a coupla months to feel normal again, no pain - no gain!
Update: THE ICE PACKS HELP A TON! Less pain & swelling, better mobility. ThumbUp
