The thing not addressed is how much time is being taken out of your life to get back to a sense of "normal". How horrible.
My new knee (almost 8 weeks) seems to be clicking, feeling popping... and an anterior pain to the right side has had hiccoughs that I hope are just settling in and healing pains. I will hold getting my other knee done for sure until I see what happens as I religiously follow all the orders, PT, and my own exercises at home. I only wish that it wasn't such an awareness, and it would start to feel more "normal". There is more to life than this dumb knee that is wiping me out.
I had "pre-trained" for 2 years for the surgery, was in great shape (aside from arthritic pain). It is a huge job undergoing a TKR. Maybe I am just a big baby?
