I hear you. I don’t want to hear one more person tell me that they know someone who had knee replacement and it went great, or that other people who had TKR are further along at this point than I am. Luckily, I have a PT who has told me that everyone who gets TKR responds differently, and that comparing myself to others only hurts me. Depression and anxiety have set in. Going out anywhere and ending up in pain is not enjoyable for me or the people I’m with. Due to pain, scar tissue, and stiffness (already tried manipulation), I still can’t drive so I’m mostly home bound. No meds are making this better. What I need to get my life back is my mobility back. No one prepared me for this battle. All I heard is how happy I will be when my bad knee is replaced with a good one. Right now, happiness seems out of reach.
