What Causes Memory Issues While On Percocet Post ACL And Meniscus Repair?

My daughter -18 had surgery ACL and meniscus repair May 8th and was on Percocet for 12 days she experienced some confusion on on the 12th day we took her off it and she is still experiencing some issues with memory and some confusion. She forgets conversations and it hurts her head (gives her a headache) to think about more than 1 things at a time. Example: I need you to call your coach and ask this and this she struggles with it. She is concerned and I m concerned. I took her to her regular Dr. On Tues., and she said call her if it persist. At what point should I be worried and take her back? What is going on with my daughter?

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.

there is no relation ship between intake of percocet or the ACS surgery. you should take her to a neurologist and scan of her brain and EEG has to be done to find the cause. do not worry, it does happen some times and resolves automatically.

Hope it helps. If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues in future, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile.

Have a wonderful time ahead.
