I am in my 6th-7th week after bilateral total knee surgery.I found the first 2 weeks far better than other weeks cause the anaesthetic drugs aren't worn off yet and whilst in hospital they consistently dose you up pretty good. After rehab and when home I hate it. They gave taken me off tablets too soon I feel , sleepless nights nausea, etc I am at 112 both knees though and physio is going good

@stretchystretch They do not let you stay on the opioids for long these days due to the opioid crisis. There is a general feeling that people get as much relief from ibuprofen as they do from the narcotics. That was a problem for me because I can only use Tylenol and that is not nearly as effective as NSAIDs.
