Poor sleep is not uncommon after TKR. I had major sleep issues for several months after my TKR. I couldn’t get comfortable and pain/discomfort woke me up. You’re getting 3-4 hours at a time is fantastic! If I got 2 hours I was doing good. I could only take Advil or Tylenol so no narcotic to help. Tried benedryl and melatonin. Didn’t help. Docs wouldn’t prescribe a mild sleep aid so it was very frustrating and I was always tired. Good news is I’m 18 months post op and I’m back to my normal sleep (6-7 hours a night), great ROM and only occasional pain if I’m too sedentary for awhile then overdue it.
