I had my TKR left leg on May 7, 2019. I was so afraid leading up to it but now that the surgery is passed I am glad it is finished.
I have been doing better than expected, have not had trouble sleeping at all, I am taking one hydrocodone in a 24 hour period along with Tylenol and Celebrex. (I am allergic to any other NSAIDs.) I am having my 62 staples taken out on Wednesday and I can't wait!
My issue is all of a sudden I feel like the pain is worse. For the past two days I have only used the cane and I am probably doing more. Could the switch from the walker to the cane put that much more pressure on my knee? But eeek I am feeling like all of a sudden I have come to a big halt. I thought from reading previous posts that people did have issues around 3-4 weeks but I just want to make sure I am not going backwards!
And thank you to those that were supportive before my surgery when I was so scared!
