I felt the same, my TKR was done 4,5 months ago and now I feel, I am slowly coming to myself again, it wasn’t an easy time, lots of pain and emotional coasters as well, keep going, it’s just needs time.

I’m 1week past my 2nd TKR, & I feel as exhausted, weak
& near fainting as I did with my other TKR. 1 year ago. I developed hyponatremia immediately after both surgeries, but surgeons seem to be unaware of it, and disinterested when you tell them you have a problem. I’m in a lot of pain, dropped my hemoglobin from 12.7 to 9.6, and I’m so dizzy/weak I can barely function. My Nephrologist is trying to help me correct my hyponatremia without returning to the hospital.
Apparently, this is a more common problem than realized, but most Orthopedists do not a
recognize it. I doubt that it is a problem you have, because most people don’t have such a severe case. One year after my first TKR I still was not myself.
