I may have replied in the past to you, but I just want to say, once again, how sorry I am for the pain that you have experienced! I noticed that your post was in June of 2024, so I hope that you are doing better. I had TKR in 2020 and my recovery was AWFUL!!! The pain meds (different ones) didn’t do anything for the pain or gave me terrible side effects so they told me to take Tylenol, which did nothing for the pain. I have had two babies and several abdominal surgeries in the past, but I NEVER experienced pain like this knee replacement pain. My other knee is bad, but I will never get another knee replacement again. I did all that they told me to do ahead of time……strengthening my quads etc but it was not helpful in the recovery. I am currently getting gel shots to my other knee, and they haven’t helped a lot. My replaced knee isn’t great either. I still have pain in both knees, so take Advil and Tylenol, and use knee compression supports on both knees. I am now 75, I was athletic in college with running, skied a lot with my family and did aerobics. I probably wore out my knees!!! All the best to you!

@mabfp3 It’s a journey that none of us expected I’m sure. Some people bounce back and then there are those of us that ask why, why didn’t it go well although we followed the routine. TKR is no joke that’s for sure. Hopefully we all heal as best as we can.
