Pat, I have been able to move my pain meds to every 7-8 hours verses every four hours. Tylenol is your friend. The main problem I’m having is with swelling. My left leg already has DVTs(blood clots) behind the knee and mid calf. This is what is preventing a total reduction in post surgical fluid accumulation. If it keeps up, I’ll be looking at a visit to a vascular surgeon.
