I’m 78 years old I worked until 70 without health problems unti I had a knee replacement worse decision of my life I have chronic pain I currently take 600 mg of gabapentin and 100mg of tramadol on most days sometimes I reduce the dosage to half I am determined to stop taking these drugs I’ve noticed that in good weather I only take 300 mg gabapentin. The winters are when I have the most pain I’m thankful I’m not taking higher doses and I don’t think I’m dependent on the drugs I’m always in pain. Horrible!

I had a shoulder replacement 5 years prior.
About 2.5 prior, pain returned to the shoulder, not as intrense as pre-op, but still wakes me at night.
Imaging is not definitive, no good reason has been determined.
The surgeon & I suspect it's a tendon issue.
The low pressure fronts are killer.
In the NW, it's about everfy 3 days during the winter, so I'm in constant pain also.

Unfortunate you’ve suffered all this time with knee pain but why? Your surgery should have fixed your arthritic knee with a new one. Most patients with knee replacements are happy campers. Please fill me in?
