What Are The Side Effects Of Medications For Knee Replacement?
I had a knee replacement six months ago and it is taking me so long to have no pain and walk correctly. I am now using a brace to straignten my leg every day for one hour starting and have to work up to four hours. It is painful and I am taking 10 mg at bedtime for up to 60 days till now. Taking it now and still in the next 30 days what are the side effects I may have to worry about.
You have not mentioned what medication you are taking. Most probably it can be calcium or pain killer. There is no side e effect od calcium. Pain killer can cause gastritis. Best method of pain relief is physio. Some patients may need a little longer time to recover.
