← Return to TKR. Anxiety issues

@nancypatton After my TKR, the anxiety went through the roof, and I knew it would happen since I googled so much and read stories..but then I mentioned it to my surgeon at an appt a few months after the surgery, and he said he'd never heard of it...SERIOUSLY?? I love this surgeon regarding the recovery (got through it physically pretty well) and there is hardly a visible incision (surgery was last November) but I still remember that horrible anxiety/crying/frustration..all 'mental' and now not sure if I would want to use him if I ever need the other knee done (however, the physical part of the surgery was superior) and I relied on my pain doctor to help me out with the 'mental.'...
