I did get really bad pain during those first couple of weeks. My knee and part of my leg was swollen , but not the whole leg . I did have to get stronger painkillers from my GP . He gave me oromorph . Don't be afraid to ring the hospital if you are concerned rather get it looked at than sit and worry . Try to bend the knee even a little , even while you are laying down . Even just try I lift the leg a little .
Are you takng pain killers ?
Are you able to take your temperature? If the knee is so painful be careful it is not an infection.
Really advise you call your GP's number and get some advice from a doctor.
hiya pam, i also have spinal stenosis, fibro myalgia & a few other things, i got ibuprofen of dr the other night. also take tramodol, paracetomol, all in all, i take 29 tabs a day & ibuprophen now. the other suitcase of tabs, i have been on for 22yrs,,but they do not work properley now, not even touching my knee pain xxx
hiya lynn, i don't seem to have a temprature, but my leg is on fire, thanx for your help & a big thanx also to pam39536 x x
I agree with the others if it's very bad, get it checked. Probably ok but have to rule out blood clot or infection. Take care.

thanx so much jen. get more sense out of you & the girls. told my son who lives here & is 30 (with a car i might add) that my leg is so bad, got told to stop moaning. i am devestated that my son 30 & my daughter 33, could be so selfish. so i am afraid were my knee is concerned, its just, ME, MYSELF & I. thanx again, julie
It's always more of a worry when you are alone . The leg does get hot , and I know what you mean about pain killers not touching the pain ...in saying that I would call your GP or even the hospital . The paramedics may be able to put your mind at rest . I suspect you have a lot of bruising coming out .xx keep us informed
thanx so much sweetie, will do & again, thank you xx
