In October 2021 I had a PKR in my right knee, then a PKR in the left in December. Whilst i feel an improvement where the implants are located, under my knee caps feel stiff, make grinding noises and really uncomfortable especially at night. I have to keep both of my knees straight otherwise they ache and become painful and this is always tricky.
Is this a reaction to having the surgery or is something else going on? It is really frustrating because despite my efforts the improvements seem minor and i hadn't imagined i would still be in continual discomfort nearly 12 weeks and 20 weeks later? Has anyone experienced this problem?
On a positive note I have been using a hand held vibrating massager that relieves a lot of the aches and stiffness around the knee and i would recommend this to everyone who is trying to find ways to aid their healing beyond icing.
