Hello, I am new to this group. I have chronic pain in my right knee after a failed total knee and subsequent total revision. I have been to pain mgt, had ablation with heat, ablation with cold, neither of which worked. Pain mgt seems to think taking CBD with THC is the answer and I do not find that it works for pain or help with trying to get sleep. I also have arthritis in both hips and my back. Another MD had prescribed Tramadol and I never take more than 2 a day as I do not want to be dependent on it. It takes the edge off a little. Has anyone else had problems after knee surgery and had luck with any tx or med. I also am on Gabapentin 300 mg hs and am trying osteopathic manipulation and acupuncture.

I have been very Lucky with replacements I had both knees and one hip replaced none gave me any type of problem at all. I am going to try CBD next, have the first ordered, but not until I researched it fir 2 or 3 days I think I am getting some good stuff. I never got any use out of Tramadol at all, it is not for nerve pain. I too have really bad sleep problems. I will not take Gabapentin after what I went through.
I wish you luck with the things you are trying.

Wow you are trying them all. I wonder if any of these well trained doctors feel bad about giving the liteweight Tramadol. After all we Seniors are responsible for DRUGS getting out of control. Not the young drug users. Tomorrow i go to my primsry dr. I will line up my pills and ask which pills i can quit. Afterall, doctors are useless. They can give you the wrong drugs. Think about it
