I am sorry for the way your TKR turned out. That said, the procedure itself is fairly common and straightforward. It is vitally important that the patient put in the post-surgery rehab work starting immediately after surgery. And it is a major surgery and the first two weeks post-op can be painful. I had a diluted nerve block for the first three days. But it will get better if the rehab is done properly.

Again, I’m sorry for what you have gone through. I still strongly advocate for this procedure to end a lifetime of suffering when knees are bone-on-bone. Suffering is an option.
