    TKR Sarah's right knee

    Hi @Josephine sorry I haven't replied, been a bit busy. It's a different pain, not numbness. It's almost like sciatica but in the size of my knee. I had it a bit before the surgery, too. Could it be from my hamstring?

    TKR Ellejay's recovery threads, first and second

    Hi @Ellejay I know what you mean! I don't know anyone who has had a tkr and certainly no one my age. .I am doing pretty well just frustrated that I can't do more. I shouldn't complain as I am working full time again. There are a couple of things that irritate me, like getting out of the car...

    Revision TKR Woohoo I'm starting to feel better!

    Hi @Ellejay I have been going to to the local pool, and is not too bad. It's indoor and is heated but still cool. Have a look at ymca's they have some hydrotherapy pools and are a bit cheaper.

    @Chihuahuan & @Nana moon 27 definitely try the pool! I am sore today but I think it's cause I used muscles that I haven't been using!

They just think that I've had surgery and I should be ok by now. .11 weeks after having my bones cut off and metal inserted into them. .I dont think so! Because of my age, also, people just don't...

    That's good. . Hopefully the antibiotics will kick in soon. Went for a"swim" tonight. . As in a walk in the pool and lots of bending and just moving it. B it is sore now but it felt sooooo good when I got out of the pool. My surgeon told me to walk backwards in the water as it helps stretch...

    TKR Almost 8 months later...the aftermath

As for sleeping in hospital, all them for a pillow to put beside you you then you can sleep on your side, I also found having the foot of the bed elevated helped me. Persevere and it will get better, I don't remember a lot of hospital...
