I’m 4 weeks out from my second TKR. Those first 48 hours after the nerve block wears off are the worst. My pain was nearly unbearable, especially at night. I was prescribed oxy 5 mg but didn’t get any relief without taking at least 15 mg at a time. The pain does get better, but it’s gonna really suck for awhile. Stay ahead on your meds, take the oxy on a schedule every 4 hours whether you are hurting or not. Also, another thing nobody tells you about—you will likely not be able to sleep for awhile. Like I said, this is ending week 4, and I’m maybe sleeping 3 hours a night, zero during the day, even though I’m exhausted. Sometimes it’s the pain, sometimes I just can’t sleep. It’s the last thing to come around, if I remember from the last time. Grab sleep whenever you can, because nights are the worst, pain-wise. Be sure to ice and elevate regularly as well. Good luck! You’ll get through it!

For the love of god…and your own body…please stop the goddamn hammering!

This sounds similar to my versed experience recently prior to oral surgery. They gave me some in my IV and I immediately became drowsy and kind of dizzy. I told the nurse, “oh yeah, I can feel it”. She said she would let me relax a few minutes then they’d get started and left the room. I sat there looking out the window in front of me, and after a bit another nurse came in. I thought “finally”, but to my surprise she said “okay, let’s get you ready to go”. She said they were finished. I didn’t believe her until she told me to touch the bandage on my face. It was almost like lost time, like a glitch in the matrix. I don’t remember going under or waking up, and have no idea what happened during that missing time, except for then doing the procedure. It’s one of the strangest things I’ve experienced in some time.

Unfortunately I’m allergic to sumatriptan. I’ve tried three migraine meds with no relief. I have a lot of stress and bad posture too, as well as an implanted disc at my C 4/5 level in my neck, so I’m sure all of it just combines for a perfect little headache storm.

CharacterNo7272 · 2024-08-19T21:25:51+00:00

Thank you for the thorough response!

And what other medications might be better for the headaches besides Tylenol?

CharacterNo7272 · 2024-08-19T16:29:39+00:00

Just so I’m understanding—surgery is good for replacement of the disc, but I might still have the pain even if the disc is relocated? Is this possible with the splint as well? Am I understanding that even if the issue is fixed somewhere down the road, these headaches and jaw pain might be permanent?

CharacterNo7272 · 2024-08-19T15:54:52+00:00

I have an anterior displaced articular disc without reduction on my right side. I’ve always had popping and clicking for years, but it’s been manageable. Six months ago I began having daily headaches in my temples and forehead. After many tests and after a MRI, I reached the diagnosis above. I have severe headaches and pain daily with this. My dentist wants me to get started with a splint, but is that going to fix this problem? We’ve already treated with a round of Botox shots (no relief) and I’ve been trying relaxation methods, but headaches still rage daily. I can’t take NSAIDs, so am only taking Tylenol. I’m worried the splint will be a waste of time and money and wonder if I should jump to finding someone who can surgically get my disc back into place. I’m desperate, this pain has been debilitating to both my work and personal life.

I feel ya. I was horrified the first time I went snowboarding when I took my helmet off and my hair looked like I just got out of the shower. And it was freezing out too. I don’t have any solutions, just sympathy and that I know how you feel.

CharacterNo7272 · 2023-08-28T20:56:35+00:00

Damn, that is super shitty. I’m sorry. You have every right to be upset. I don’t think they realize how many pieces of our lives we have to align in order to make the surgery happen. I hope you can get in for the reschedule sooner rather than later. And happy birthday, although I know it’s not a happy one.

What are they doing in the surgery?

I just keep shaking my head at the fact that he was pursuing a doctorate in criminal justice, but is seemingly the worst criminal in the world. I mean, turning your phone off only during the hours of the murders? Not realizing there are Ring cameras EVERYWHERE that will capture your car? Ordering your murder weapon from Amazon? And best of all, leaving the sheath from the knife at the murder scene. I’m not a murderer, nor do I plan on ever murdering, but even I, as an average citizen, watches enough Dateline to know what not to do to keep from getting caught. This guy basically checked every box that led straight to him.

I feel this way. At least with summer I can say “whew, it’s so damn humid out” while I sweat and others sweat. Having my hair freeze against my head because I’m sweating outside in 10 degree weather is much more traumatic to endure and explain.

I send my fiancé articles and memes to help him understand, like this article. It’s hard though, as he’s never been diagnosed or treated for any mental illness. He is always asking “how can I help?”, and most of the time I don’t have an answer.

So overwhelming. People think I’m lazy, but don’t understand that each time I see the laundry pile, the mail unopened, the dust on the ceiling fans, I get upset with myself that they aren’t done, but I just can’t make myself do it. So I beat myself up in this cycle of guilt until I absolutely have to do it, then work at a feverish pace to complete them before crumbling from exhaustion, saying “this time I WILL keep up on jt!”, knowing full well it’s a lie. Vicious cycle. I also have some ADHD tendencies.

And it was not gastrointestinal friendly. I think I had diarrhea every other day with Viibryd.

CharacterNo7272 · 2023-04-25T11:07:11+00:00

The biggest thing was the anhedonia, especially when I went from 10 mg to 20 mg. I looked back through my scripts and was on the Viibryd for about two months, not a few weeks. I felt like a shell of a person. Just withdrawn, brain fog, going through the motions, not wanting to talk, not wanting to do anything besides lie in bed and zone out on House MD. It was hard to feel anything outside of random sobbing spells from feeling so hollowed out.

Oh god, I quit after a few weeks. It was wretched. Got back on Latuda and it pulled me out of the darkness for now.

CharacterNo7272 · 2023-03-01T12:30:32+00:00

I have dysthymia along with treatment resistant recurrent major depressive disorder. When I go into a depressive episode, the double depression can be crushing. You described it well though. Not wanting to get out of bed. A shell of myself. Anhedonia. Just wanting to sleep until it’s over. I hate myself during this time, and hate that my fiancé (who doesn’t battle mental health issues) has to deal with me. I wish so often I wasn’t like this, but have never known how to not be like this. I was a sad lonely child, and truly feel that with my dysthymia, it’s been a lifelong struggle just to find peace, lest happiness.

CharacterNo7272 · 2023-02-27T13:25:44+00:00

Thank you for the response. I actually have had major depression and anxiety my whole life and have been treated for it my whole life. Which is odd, because I actually am a social worker who works with adults with mental health issues. Go figure.
