Question

Help answer this question below.

im recovering from my 2nd hip surgery done 4 wks ago, and had two surgeries 6 wks apart

my first one healed up really good and after a month i barely felt any pain, this one my knee is sore all the time after a month and i rarely even see any improvements, i do walk so its not that, i can even walk without a walker but dont to avoid falls. its just as sore now as it was when i was in rehab and it rarely shows any signs of improvements, i thought i was supposed to feel less sore every day but it always at the same level most of the time, my knee did pop a couple of times after surgery but then so did the other one and that healed, my doctor says the popping wont interfere with the healing but sometimes i wonder, i did have a blood transfusion with both surgeries so i wonder if im just still too weak to heal up, sometimes i wasnt getting much sleep cause i live in a resort and people would be real loud at night, can sleep interfere with the healing process or lack of it? i was holding my breath before my 2nd surgery praying i wouldnt catch a cold from not sleeping and i guess god answered that but im wondering what the holdup is and why its not getting better, everyone says i look like im doing great but the soreness in my knee aint going away, i know youre supposed to elevate your legs but its really hard for me to get in and out of bed all the time, and im taking warfarin and wondered if that can cause joint pains cause my other one healed up when i stopped taking it, im close to stopping it cause i think youre only supposed to take it 28 days, i would love to stop it so i can take antiimflammatories, any suggestions?

    Warfarin can sometimes do more bad than good! I'd say go with your gut buddy an i wish you a quick and painless recovery.
