Chrondroplasty

Hi there,
I had a meniscus tear reppair and a chondroplasty that I didnt know I was going to have.My surgery was on 7/14/98.  I hae been in constant pain even using the Polar cooler (we call it the beer cooler.)  Today is Today is July 18 and my hands and knees are are shaking uncontrolably and I can't stop them.  My hands are shaking like crazy and my knees are buckling even while I'm on the walker.  I am having trouble typing this message due to my hands having a "mind of their own."  Here's my question, do I call my primary doctor or the knee surgeon about this or is this perfectly normal after surgery?

Thanks,
Billie

Hello Dear,
You should consult a neurophysician as there could be a neurological reason causing the trembling.You need to undergo a complete neurological examination to diagnose the condition.Also you should consult a pain clinic and undergo physiotherapy.
