Hello, after 8 months of pain I had my left TKR on June 24, 2019 at 2:30pm. Had a spinal block and all went well. Came home the next day. At first it was good. Walked plenty and used the CPM twice for 2 hours at 70 degrees. But every day since then I have had more and more pain and cramps. I can barely bend my left knee now more than about 30°. At 30° with the CPM it causes that intense pain.
I also have a very hard time getting up and I am getting bad cramps in my left thigh muscles in my shin. I am taking hydrocodone with Tylenol. Walking around with a walker is still not too difficult with the exception of not being able to bend my left knee much.
Sleeping is rough since I get cramps in my left thigh and knee and shin in the middle of the night. The pain level even with the hydrocodone is about a 9-10. And I have a very high tolerance to pain.
I would appreciate any thoughts from anyone.
Thanks, Michael
