8 weeks post TKR

Reading these stories I realise I have been very lucky indeed. I am 8 weeks post op and experience very little pain in my knee. More like discomfort occasionally. The pain was bearable (with medication) from day 1. The only problems I experienced was lack of sleep for the first couple of weeks as I’m not used to sleeping on my back. I need to have my right knee replaced shortly so just hope this goes as well. I have followed the exercise plan I was given as well as attending Physio sessions which has helped I’m sure. I can now walk up and down stairs ‘normally’ albeit it a little slower than someone without knee problems. I’d waited about 12 years since I was told I needed two new knees before I plucked up the courage to have the surgery. If the second surgery goes as well as the first they will have been 12 wasted years! Hope everyone’s pain gets less as time goes on.
