Still Have a LOT of Pain Behind my Knees 10 Days Post Op, What Can I Do?

August 13, 2011
Asked By:akinskim in Grayson, GA

I had flanks, saddle bags, inner thigh and knees done. 6-1/2 liters taken. I am still in a LOT of pain behind my knees. Wearing my garment 24/7. I can only bend them just a little. My swelling is normal. I have pitting edema in both feet and have been given lasix to take for 3 days with no change. My line of work is a firefighter. I have to go back to work but I can't bend my legs enough due to the pain. I was not expecting this level of pain at all. What can I do? PLEASE help me.
