Migraines/Quads not working
I am 4 days post-op for a medial meniscus repair and debridement. I had a spinal tap, and I realize that side effects of this are headaches which can last up to 2 weeks. Have any of you reading this experienced this and how long did they last? I am going back to work my 60+ hour work week in two days, and so far, have only been able to keep my head up for 2 hours at a time here at home until the pain gets so bad, I am flat on my back for hours. Also, I am promt with my physio, but finding it extremely difficult getting my quads to work correctly. I can almost fully bend my leg with little or no pain, but when I have to extend, it locks up like before the surgery, I can't use my quad and the pain behind my knee is excrutiating! Can anyone help me answer my questions? Like I said, I realize I am only 4 days post. I am not sure what I should be experiencing at this time.
