Day 14 PO - Wednesday - Don't stop cold turkey

In the interest of cutting down on the pain meds, I decided to forgo my bedtime dose of Percocet. That was a mistake. About 4:00 am I was awakened by a shooting pain down my left left to my foot. This was a totally new occurrence. I rolled onto my back and thankfully it subsided. I rolled myself out of bed, limped to the bathroom and took that Percocet. Thirty minutes later, relief came.

I’m thinking it may have been a muscle spasm that caused the leg pain as all of the nerves were released by the surgery and not impinged anymore. Or, it may have been “an awakening” from a nerve that was previously impinged and healing.  🤷🏻‍♀️

Whatever it was, I’m happy to report that I am having no trouble sitting today.

Tomorrow is my last in home PT with Brad. I was all excited to get myself set up with outpatient PT. I called the doctor’s office for a referral and was told I would need to wait until my 4 week appointment to get cleared for that PT. Bummer!  So I’ll keep up with the home stuff for two more weeks.
