8weeks TKR and have good ROM etc. I'm only having meds before bedtime, and i might have had a couple of days doing too much,(apricot season in TASMANIA, do bottlingvand made jam!) but i felt as though i was having an arthritic attack all over. Is it from being inactive after surgery? I had to take a tablet in the night and again this afternoon. I feel like a wet rag and everything is a huge effort. Didn't get up till nearly midday..iced and elevated in bed! starting hydrotherapy this week.
You have definitely done far too much. Please be careful you will mess up all your good work. 8 weeks gosh, I am 7 weeks now, and no way would I even think of doing things like you are. Be gentle with yourself. Keep in touch.
What is hydrotherapy !!
Hi Susane, thanks for your reply. It’s therapy in a specially built pool with physiotherapists that work out a programme to suit your type of surgery/recovery. This morning i feel a little better. I have bursitis in both my shoulders made worse from lifting myself in bed when in hospital and at home…blinking nuisance!!
