[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 498776, member: 1514"] Oh sounds awful! I do know you do have to keep the pain medications constant. Dont let yourself chase pain. It wont work as well. Keep ahead of it. Let me tell you a story of me being completely stupid. Back in 2005 I had my right knee scoped. I figured I knew what to expect because I had already had my left one done and it wasnt too awfully bad. I made it through and did just fine. Well, they do the nerve blocks in there just the same as what you describe so when I came to in the recovery room I was feeling just fine and they let me go home and I felt okay. At that point I was also on oxycontin 10 mgs extended release 2 times a day for my fibro and arthritis. The surgeon gave me percocets to take for the pain from the surgery. I stopped to get the percocets filled but I thought I was superwoman and since I was feeling just fine when I got home, I figured the oxycontin would handle the pain. Oh how stupid I was! I went to bed that evening fairly early and took my night medications including my night time oxycontin and I woke up sometime about midnight and the nerve block had worn off. My knee felt like it was on fire. I couldnt catch the pain. I was up all night trying to get the percocets to kick in. It took me about 6 hours for them to finally start working and that was after I had woken up the entire house...lol. Never again. [/QUOTE]
