    Thank you for sharing your experience with sleep issues. I am going back to work tomorrow, so I will be stopping sleep aids during work nites. I take herbal aids only so far. May I ask if your pain was worse at nite? I am now starting to have pain with walking again, which I thought was done. I...

    thank you Caryl. My apologies for not following same thread. Newbie at these forums for sure. = ) My ortho PA seemed to think pain this far out was unusual. I reminded her I have chronic Lyme so i'm not sure if that plays a role or not in my healing/recovery. The lack of sleep is so...

    Hello all. I'm still in a great deal of pain almost 12 weeks post op. My entire leg aches all day, some relief w advil/Tylenol. I'm barely doing any PT, have been babying the knee which decreased the pain which is good. However pain at rest / night is incredible. I don't sleep well. Narcotics...

    Hello and I’m in very much the same boat w TKR 9/28/20. The only nights I get sleep is when I’m totally exhausted. The pain is sporadic and not caused by anything specific. I’ve stopped aggressive PT, gentle yoga and stretching only. I can fall asleep but 3-4 hours later I’m awake with pain. I...

I so appreciate all your input and replies. =...

    Im so glad to hear this. I've been feeling a bit "behind" in my recovery due to surgeon/PT input. Lately the more and more i stretch, the more my incision hurts. I have been using coconut oil and lotions during the day - but man the pain there is unbelievable - esp while stretching my knee w...

    OK - but what about my surgeon office sweating that ROM and wanting to go back in and crack me? Looking at your signature - I think you may know more than them tho ... = ) that's a lot of surgeries! Makes sense tho - as the stretching of the knee causes a decent amount of pain and in the back...

    thank you! It was my right knee that had TKR. Due to AVN from 16 months of high dose steroids 2002-03 for autoimmune disease (in remission). The reason i'm doing so much PT is that my surgeon's office is considering MUA - next appt 12/9. Im trying to avoid that as i'm due back at work 12/20. And...

    Hello all. My TKR was 9/28/20. I am happy to have found this site as I have so many questions / concerns and I find the surgeon's office pretty much 'drops you' after the surgery is complete. I also didn't have much luck with in-home PT. I am doing my own PT at home with youtube videos (Total...
