@katp Believe me, yes the pain and inability to do the things you use to can cause depression. I sought out counseling instead of asking my MD for another pill to take. She gave my ways to focus on more positive things in my life and to journal all my feelings everyday. It has helped, but it is a daily process. Keep looking for answers but think of what is good right now in your life! Good luck and keep us posted.

A friend has bilateral knee replacements in April, and she is suffering too. And can't take pain meds except for Tylenol! She is depressed too. I am 2 months post TKR, and my knee hurt all night again. They tell me it gets better! Maybe Its a waiting game?
