it took me four months before I had no more night
pain and could sleep. My life was at a standstill for
those months. Yes, each knee is different even on the same patient. I feel well now.

Hi Lynn,
I admire and respect your perseverance. Surgeons play it safe and tell us recovery from TKR can take a year. Technically that's probably true but I think people who do all the suggested rehab can expect to see results in 2 to 6 months.
Do you sleep on your side with a pillow between your knees? This is quite good for the back.
Again, congrats on a job well done and for persevering in spite of daily/nightly pain.
Joe
