First week back at work eight weeks after a right TKR and I can't believe how absolutely wiped out I am. I went back full time and all week I came home, iced my knee and went to bed. Didn't even eat dinner.
I have an office job with not a lot of walking, but I'm just exhausted. There is a lot of stress and pressure at work, so that's probably part of it. I hope this passes soon.
The knee has been a bit stiff and sore, but not too bad. I just feel like I lost all my energy someplace. I was hoping to be able to do some of my PT knee exercises on my lunch hour...boy was I dreaming. I don't take any pain meds during the day, just occasionally at night if it's a bad one, so it's not that. I'm just dragging.
Tell me this goes away, please!
