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

thanks, Joe. Pain was at night and now pleased it is behind me. Seems recovery varies a lot for everyone.
Knee architecture differs so affects healing. I hope you are doing ok now.
