TKR Linda1, I'm home

You are still very early in your recovery. I suggest you go back to the wedge and icing all through the night.

I can't imagine not elevating or icing much at 2 months post-op. I needed it for 10-12 weeks after my first TKR in 2019 and I'm sure this one will be similar. I read my old recovery posts a few days ago and saw that even at 4-5 months post-op, I still iced a lot and elevated 1-2 times a day for pain relief. There is just something about elevating and stopping gravity in its tracks that shuts down my pain for awhile. Some daus it worked better than Tylenol!!!

I'm only ~5 weeks post-op this time, and I still need to ice 4-5X a day and elevate 3-4 times a day. Sleeping is still awful, and I bounce around all night between the bed and 2 different couches.
