I'm 13 weeks post surgery. I read so many posts here about this also being a mental strain, but I didn't think it would be for me. Joke's on me! My actual defect sites feel great! My ROM is fantastic. My issue is ongoing excess fluid in the joint that is causing me so much pain that I can't even sleep. I finally went back to the surgeon today because I couldn't take it anymore. He prescribed me a steroid pack to see if that would help calm things down. Has anyone else experienced ongoing pain from swelling and fluid? I really hope the steroids work because I feel like this is the only thing holding me back.
