Be careful with the narcotics.They can be very addictive as we know. I only took them at night.During the day I took Tylenol and Motrin.You can use them together as directed .Use a lot of ice and elevation.It’s still early.Follow the PT instructions.And yes this surgeons don’t ever describe how tough it is .Hang in there .It will get better.

Thank you! I have started weaning off the narcotic pain medicine. They have me on a blood thinner for a month, so I can’t take Motrin. I wish I could. Motrin has always worked better for me then Tylenol. I am icing and elevating. Yes, this surgery is absolutely tough!
