New Knee Week 1: Sleep vs Pain
Pain levels have not been too bad so far but last night seemed to be the night for it. The doctor and nurses all warned me that nighttime was likely to be the worst. There is just no really good position for me to put my leg in. Normally I am a side sleeper and that seems to be the worst there seems to be no way to get everything positioned comfortably. I have decided that increasing pain mess at night is a good idea, as is using a seldom used sleep aid.
