Yes, morphine was once amazing for me--an operation I had when I was younger--but last year, when my appendix ruptured, it did nothing but kill the pain. Oh well. The part about appreciating life is true. After that appendix thing, when things got dicey for a while, I enjoyed the spring as I hadn't in years. Life is beautiful and short. I hope you're back on your feet again soon!mary rowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02029329722313141801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513470670765405287.post-86429052410653222032016-02-15T03:44:01.539-08:002016-02-15T03:44:01.539-08:00I have to be very, very careful with it at all tim...I have to be very, very careful with it at all times (ie, don't move without crutches) as I am terrified of it swelling up and the AGONY again! If I do anything more than hobble to the loo I stick ice packs on afterwards. It's only a month, and I am appalled by how unfit I've become!<br /><br />I wish morphine affected me like that! It did when I was 18, after my appendectomy - I still say it was the most beautiful experience of my life, featuring Aslan, everything! But now all it gives me is a calm wooziness, at best. Must be the after effects of a misspent 3 decades :(Terry Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15077413235902203848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513470670765405287.post-45833213430871218262016-02-15T03:32:24.802-08:002016-02-15T03:32:24.802-08:00I can feel the nerve nagging throb of the offendin...I can feel the nerve nagging throb of the offending knee through the screen! I imagine it to be a pulsing balloon of agony that, as is always the case, only someone who has been similarly affected can truly empathise with.<br /><br />Regarding morphine, I recall waking up after a rather invasive operation and asking the nurse if she'd like to pop back in later that evening and enjoy looking at the beautiful lights through the window with me! Can't say I ever saw her again...<br /><br />Hope your bits are fully functional soon... :) x<br /><br /> Lynn Gerrardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18061020895933480996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513470670765405287.post-76667770435317548202016-02-14T11:38:01.151-08:002016-02-14T11:38:01.151-08:00Thanks, Colleen - I'm longing to go for a nice...Thanks, Colleen - I'm longing to go for a nice hearty walk! :)Terry Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15077413235902203848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513470670765405287.post-51857567344117300482016-02-14T11:22:07.412-08:002016-02-14T11:22:07.412-08:00Ugh--knee pain.

I climb into the bath very gingerly ( don't like showers), hairwashing is hardest! I've got crutches and a really good leg brace that bends as much as I want it to. I could do with a few bath things that we're looking into, and I now have an invalid table, which is great, for the bed! We're muddling through!

Saw a lot working in general medicine & have a few good friends who still work in orthopaedics :) It's all the little things you take for granted that can become a real pain in butt when your mobility is restricted, like getting up & down the stairs, showering & bending. I'm guessing not, but were you given any OT aids to help while you're laid up? Just give me a shout if you get too stir crazy. Happy to lend a listening ear :) Take care xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07683733467691629493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513470670765405287.post-61776548513705289242016-02-11T00:04:22.770-08:002016-02-11T00:04:22.770-08:00It isn't definitely confirmed that this is wha...It isn't definitely confirmed that this is what it is (and won't be until I have the biopsy in a month), but husband and I have read all about it on the interweb and it totally describes all my symptoms - and the consultant said it probably is. I am most impressed that you've heard of it, we hadn't!!! You're right re the help - alas, I have to err on the cautious side and ask for help alot, as I daren't risk it bleeding again, I think I would be a nervous wreck if I had to go through the pain thing again, especially as many hospital staff don't believe you when you say how painful it is (and haven't heard of PVNS either), until they give you maximum morphine and you're still screaming!!! I've been lucky to come across a couple of wonderful ones, though.

I feel ...Ah, that's why Twitter has felt quiet. I feel for you, Terry. PVNS is a bloomin' painful condition. Hopefully, the op has been successful & you won't need to go down the knee replacement route. Sounds like you've making good use of your time & getting plenty of reading/writing done, but don't be stubborn about accepting help if you need it. Last time I had morphine was in a delivery suite & it wasn't pretty. Have a vague recollection of telling the midwife the wallpaper in the room was naff! Anyway, enjoy your extra reading & writing time while it lasts. Here's to a speedy recovery.
