Hi @tlfiore,
Thank you for your post on how real and brutal the TKR post op and recovery is.
My right TKR was done on 10/18/19 so I am on post op Day 18.
I was in the hospital for 2 nights. My pain was at times unimaginable and unbearable. It was so important for me not to get behind on the pain med schedule.
Good news - I turned a corner on day 12. I remember this day distinctly. Needing less pain meds. PT seemed easier.
I have had home PT 2x a week but have graduated now to out patient PT starting tomorrow. Nervous about that.
Sleepless nights and stiff painful mornings are my biggest challenge at 2 1/2 weeks.
It will get better,
