    TKR Excruciating pain 15 months after TKR

    So sorry. I understand what you are going through. I am a week behind you but still having a lot of pain. I've been told this is normal considering all the prior trauma and surgeries. I hope you get some answers and some relief. Sent from my iPad using BoneSmart Forum

    I received a phone call from my OS today. He was apologetic and disappointed in the way I was treated by the PA. He assured me I would never have to see the PA again, and he had spoken with him and felt the situation was resolved. My OS told me my knee would probably take longer to heal than...

    5 weeks post op and I can honestly say, I was not prepared for this long slow and painful recovery. Prior to my surgery I was very active, and now I spend my days on the sofa with my leg elevated and packed in ice. I am so bored. There are days where I walk around with my cane, or go out for a...

    I am becoming frustrated. Today I woke up at 6 am and have been in pain all day. I have been taking my pain meds every 4-5 hours but still struggling.

    Started using a cane again, and it seems to have helped. That being said, by evening my legs hurt and specifically my shin on my tkr leg starts really hurting. I get this deep ache where my legs connect to my torso. Anyone have any thoughts?
