    TKR MSuki Recovery Thread - Sleep Issues, Muscle cramping, Walking

I have sleep apnea, I am a side sleeper who now had to transition to being a back sleeper because that was the only way I could be without significant pain.

I had been walking 1/2 mile without aides x 2 days. I did this because PT at hospital told me to do as much as I could tolerate...
