Total Knee Replacement (TKR) Surgery – “How long/often should I take my pain medications?”
I get a lot of questions from clients after TKR surgery about their pain medications…
People ask how often they should take their medications and how long they should take them after surgery.
They also ask me about the possibility of becoming dependent on pain medications for the rest of their lives.
In this video, I’ll address those questions in detail. And I’ll also tell you what to do if you find that the pain medications don’t agree with your system after surgery and make you feel nauseous and sick.
I hope this video helps!
