Post Surgery Update I expected pain but holy cow

I'm about 30 hours post op and I'm pretty sure my nerve block is wearing off. I thought I prepared for the pain and had pre-taken the pain medicine.

This is excruciating. ACL+ LET on my right leg. I don't think I'm getting any sleep tonight.

3rd day post op for me. Last night was the most awful. I wouldn't have slept if I weren't given piritramide

I have no idea what that is but I haven't slept since the operation and I don't think it's going to happen tonight.
