    TKR Good Days and Challenges

    LTKR on December 16th so it has been a little bit over 3 weeks. I have started to feel better gaining strength and movement. However it is a roller coaster ride. Today I feel so exhausted as last night I could not get comfortable or fall asleep for hours. The skin on my leg felt as though it...

    TKR Good Days and Challenges

    On day 19 and have experienced 2 separate occasions in the past week where I wake up in a sweat. No fever just chilled from feeling damp and need to change into dry clothes. Otherwise feeling as normal as possible on my less than 3 week journey. Has anyone else experienced this?

    TKR Good Days and Challenges

    16 days of slow and steady improvement with ROM and strength. However nights have become more difficult to rest and get some sleep. Once in bed for about half hour my Skin feels like it’s burning. Ice and lotion soothes a bit but not enough to relax. I feel so exhausted in the morning.
