Pain Trajectory (Dependent Position)
Pre-op baseline 5.5/10 → surgery → post-op recovery. Oxy to zero pain meds in 7 days. Stable at <1/10 since Day 9 PO.
Blood Pressure & Heart Rate
Pre-injury ~140/75 → post-op peak 160/85 → new baseline ~125-131/65. June 20 spike (160/80) likely measurement variance.
Pain Management Taper
Oxycodone every 5-6 hours (Day 1) to zero medication (Day 7). Complete taper in one week.
Swelling Progression
Visual documentation of edema resolution. Two pre-op injections, then surgery.
