    TKR 9mths and back still hurts

    Hello @Jaycey, Before I had my knee replacement, my back would hurt because of my bad knees and how bowed my leg was. I was hoping that it would improve with the tkr. I know my gait is off because my tkr knee is still not completely healed. It feels kinda weird to the touch and hurts...

    TKR 9mths and back still hurts

    Had a small victory today. Usually, I toss back and forth trying to find a way to sleep comfortably with a pillow between my legs. Well, tonight I tried sleeping like I used to, all stretched out and it worked. Like I said, a small victory!

    TKR Need advice and some re-assurance

    Sorry this has been so difficult. Just reassure her that she will be ok, it just takes time. At PT she is the boss and should let them know when it is too much. Keep an eye out for depression. I hope things get easier soon! Best of luck!0

    TKR 9 months post op

    Mine was 7/16.

    @Abbylayla I am so sorry. I can only imagine how painful PT is with your hips too. Do you have a way of checking your progress with your knee? I certainly wish you well!!

    @Miggie Yes, the sleep deprivation is tough. 3-5 hours is not near enough. I could never get comfortable. I, do think I was having mild depression symptoms. With the knee, covid and other stressful stuff going on, it's a bit much. But, hang in there, it slowly improves. I bought a good...

    Had surgery 7/16 and doing pretty well with straightening and flexion. Trying to elevate and ice more to lessen swelling. Notice knee just aching though while resting. Back starts hurting when I walk any distance. At almost 11 weeks, wondering when the aching will stop.
