Has your doctor offered to do a scar manipulation under anesthesia? (MUA)

Yes -Here I go again, while the hip is being replaced a MUA will be performed. I don't know when I will ever get out of ortho hell.

Hi @zakcat - If its any consolation, I think most of us still have pain - sometimes night and day - at 6 weeks. I've had 2 TKRs. On both, I found 8 weeks to be a real milestone. Lots of things like walking, being able to comfortably turn over in bed, and staying on top of my PT became much easier in the 3rd month. I know there are pros and cons to the CBD oil and there is no regulation of the stuff and there are snake oil salespeople out there. All that said, I've heard some pretty good things about it when people have found reliable sources. Good luck with your recovery. Is pain at night your worst problem or do you still have pain with PT?
