I am into my 6th week post op and still have a lot of pain. Not only my knee but my hip and ankle. I do physical therapy 3x a week and probably should walk more. I am so worn out with the pain. Hoping to get a refill of tramadol. All those people that said to me you will be so happy you did it are full of it. Also who are these people that say by 6 weeks you will be back to your regular activities! REALLY?

I am so sorry that you are struggling with your TKR. I was told by both my surgeon and my PT that some people’s bodies just cope with joint replacements better than others. It is nothing special or magical that they are doing differently.
