Bastian 458 Posted September 21, 2019 Hey did they do xrays or anything? Where is your pain and are you keeping your fluids down or vomiting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frustr8 7,886 Posted September 21, 2019 try cold compress, see if you can "freeze" the pain away. My orthopaedic surgeon seems to love recommending that for pain; no real reason it might not criss over for you. And you could find relief with the opposite- a hit water bottle or a low to medium temp on a heating pad. Got to try "Old Grandma" advice when the easy things don't do for you. Your body went through surgery as well as you, now it feels cranky, crabby and feels like swearing. And --- How does a Body show indignation? Cramping and Gas! 1 Bastian reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
