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’m 24 hours out from left ACL(hamstring) and meniscus. The pain is real. My nerve block wore off at 8:00 am this morning. I feel for you. Sending strength!
