Hi @gobigorgohome - Love your member name! Kind of tells me you have some spirit and can deal with challenges. Don't let my yucky knees scare you. Think of it as a knee challenge - you will do great. I think the key to getting through the TKR is listening to your doctors and following their instructions after the TKR. I'm new to this game and on day 6 after my TKR and feeling fairly good as far as the pain goes but maybe that's just because I have neuropathy in my feet (numbness but no pain with it). I think controlling the pain is key for the initial recovery and rehab. Lots of great members here in this discussion on Connect just waiting to support you!

I wish you the best on your upcoming knee surgery. Here's a video that I found helpful for some of the questions I had going into my surgery.
