I had a Total Right Knee Replacement in 2020. I can truly identify with the anxiety/depression that you are experiencing. It happened to me, and no one warned me about it in the pre-op knee class that I sat through in a well-known Boston hospital. I had to reach out to the surgeon’s office several times concerning this. Also, I was allergic to the pain meds that they gave me so they told me to “take Tylenol”. That did not do a thing for the excruciating pain that went with that surgery. Then, they told me to call my primary care. She was actually the one who came to my rescue. She gave me an Ativan prescription for the anxiety/depression. It made a huge difference for me! I had never suffered depression in my life……..it was terrible! I swore that I would *never* have the left knee done, but it is really very painful and just getting worse. So, on Oct 1st, I will have the left knee done in a different Boston hospital, with a different surgeon and just hope for the best. If that anxiety/depression comes upon me again, I will get in touch with my primary care right away. Sorry to say, but the surgeon only does the replacement and I found, after the surgery, they are not interested in the brutal recovery. Wanted to let you know that this depression/anxiety is very common among TKR patients. I just wish that I had known that ahead of time. My advice would be to call your primary care doctor. Wishing you all the best in what is a long and painful recovery.
