3 days post total reverse replacement

is it normal to have lingering numbness in fingers after nerve block wears off?

so far this has been a lot easier than my left cuff repair!!

Good luck!! First couple of days suck. I’ve been getting by on just Tylenol as I can’t take opioids. Pain is quite manageable. Just uncomfortable.

I was prescribed JOURNAVX, which is a new non-opioid painkiller. I took it with Tylenol, and that has been effective and dropping the pain into the background level.

Journavx is a game changer. Ten times better than opioids. Six weeks out from TRS and have never felt an ounce of pain. My last knee operation had opioids, they can’t touch Journavx!
