Stay positive & surround with positive company!! It is no doubt very very painful. I am one week post left TKR. I cried few times due to the pain. Remember to take your pain meds before the pain kicks in. Very important to have some food in your stomach before taking pain meds.,I was given Vicodin. I slowly reduced the dosage to 1 pill now instead of 2 when I need it.
First week is really to allow the knee to heal from the surgery. Don’t push yourself to do exercises. Sending you lots of good luck and positive energy!!
