How has your recovery been going after your second knee replacement surgery?

Recovery from knee replacement surgery can be particularly challenging when you're managing fibromyalgia alongside it. The surgery itself, anesthesia, and recovery process can sometimes trigger fibro flares or intensify existing symptoms like pain, fatigue, and brain fog.

Many people with fibromyalgia find that post-surgical recovery takes longer than expected, and the rehabilitation process can be more demanding on the body. It's important to pace yourself during physical therapy and communicate openly with your medical team about your fibromyalgia so they can adjust your pain management and recovery plan accordingly.

How are you managing your fibro symptoms during this recovery period? Are you finding any strategies that help with both the surgical healing and your fibromyalgia?
