Hi @brianbat - Welcome to Connect! And I'm so sorry you had to go through the original surgery AND an MUA. But it sounds as if you are doing great now. At 7 weeks, I think 123 flexion is terrific! I had a TKR 10 weeks ago and I totally understand your thoughts on sleeping. I'm sleeping well now - w/o pain meds, but I can truthfully say that the last pain med I gave up was the one I took before bed. It was easier for me to do PT without meds as opposed to sleeping without them. Are you still doing physical therapy? I wonder if your therapist could recommend any sleep aids?

Your so lucky to be sleeping!! I am still in therapy and had asked them before. I have a Dr appointment tomorrow so i will check with him. Glad to hear you are doing well.
