2 days after ACL surgery. is this normal?

its been 2 days after my ACL surgery and i'm in so much pain! pain medicine isnt helping too much! is this normal?

Pain is normal but you should not be suffering. If the pain is more than you can comfortably stand and the pain meds are not helping call your DR. and ask for something stronger. was never in uncontrolable pain after my acl replacement. Try using a lot of ice. That really helped me!!

yes it is normal because everyone is different, some experience the worst pain, others don't feel a thing. Ask your doctor and maybe he can higher the dosage of your pills.good luck

I hate to say it but discomfort and pain is normal following a surgery like that. If your pain killers aren't helping you should call your doctor and see if there's something stronger he/she can prescribe for you. After having my meniscus repaired 2 years ago I was given Lortab for pain and at times I was still in a lot of pain. Call your doctor for a new prescription, use a lot of ice - nonstop, and hang in there. It'll be a while, but you'll start to feel better! Good Luck. :-)

it is normal to be in pain for at least a week and then it sorta lets up.... if you are in that much pain then call your doctor and ask if you can double your pain meds... they usually go for it... mine did

Call your surgeon and tell him or her what is going on and that your pain medication they gave you is not covering your pain. Pain more that 2 hours is not normal. Hope this helps, I am a Nurse.

That is normal. Everyone's pain tolerance is different. Every surgery is different also. For some of my knee surgeries I didn't need any pain medications and for others I needed very strong medication (an IV pump to go home with). Everyday will get a little bit better for you. I wish you a speedy recovery.
