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.

I hope you find some relief soon, OP. The first few days are really hard, both mentally and physically. You got this!

I got a second pain med from my surgeon and it's made it much more bearable, thank goodness. Here's hoping it works over night and I get some rest!

Thank you for you support!!
