New member looking for some encouragement. 52 year old female with 6 prior surgeries including 5 arthroscopic and 1 ACL reconstruction. TKR 1/21 right knee. 5 days post op indescribable sciatic pain left side. Had been dealing with this for about 18 months prior but was at a good place before surgery. The night before had a massage and chiropractic adjustment as a precaution in case this happened. It has taken over my life. My knee pain is nothing like this. Haven’t slept in weeks because each side requires a different position to be comfortable. In home therapy 5 times in weeks they were happy with my progress although I could not reach full extension. My 2 weeks post op at surgeon and she was not too concerned. First day at outpatient measured -15 and 95. Each session starts with 10 mins of 10 pound heated pad to help with extension. Currently can reach -6/99. We also do 30 mins of sciatic stretches because it hampers the opposite side knee exercises. Knee feels heavy. I have started massage as the scar has healed well. Just looking for others 3 week experiences not necessarily with sciatic issues. Feeling a bit discouraged at the range right now.
