Total Knee Replacement at 83 - What was your experience?

These are all good tips, I am a 75 year old female and just had TKR 3 weeks ago. I too cannot take NSAIDs or anti-inflammatories. The only problem was (no way of getting around this graphic) constipation. This was the worst part of the surgical experience. Make sure you are taking meds for that to prevent that condition. Overall, the experience wasn't as bad as I feared.

@lindielulu First of all I wish you recover quickly and well. I have a question. Did you use a recliner after your surgery at home or a simple firm chair with good armrests? The reason I am asking is that I have been reading that recliners are not recommended after TKR. Are you sleeping with a wedge pillow to lift your leg during the night? I have so many questions. Thanks for your advanced advice. Stay well.
