Hello from Australia, I had a TKR on 23/9 so 11 days post op. Can we talk pain and what is normal and what might be something else. I’m getting a sharp stabbing pain like an electric shock, is that normal?
thanks

Glad to hear your pain is easing and hope the ROM will follow. Keep doing what makes you happy while your body heals.
I also still get zingers but less frequently. I have a steady low level pain right at the joint on the medial side. The tightness around the front of the knee when I bend is getting better over time.
I sleep with a cervical pillow under my head and a pillow between my knees, though between the knees may be an off description. I stagger the knees around the pillow so that the knees don't touch - still too much pain. With those 2 pillows, I can shift from one side to the other and have just started sleeping through the night (with a little help from a 1:1 medical THC/CBD tincture now that I'm off the hard drugs). I haven't been a back sleeper since I was pregnant 40 years ago.
