When does the pain end or lighten up after total knee replacement?

Posted by irishtrish @irishtrish, Sep 11, 2025

I am 3.5 months since my knee replacement and I'm still experiencing pain and spasms. Also, the replacement clicks/catches on the outer back part of the knee. Is this all normal or anything to worry about? How do you handle the pain?

I still have interior knee pain on my right knee after total knee replacement 8.5 weeks ago. The back of my knee keeps getting tight and sore. I am in physical therapy and following what I am told to do but I feel defeated that it still hurts and I still have tightness.

@danettef , I am 11 months post op TKR. I wound that ice helped me tremendously multiple times daily. I used an ice machine purchased from Amazon and continued use up until 9 months out. I also used a slant pad while using ice for better positioning while watching TV, reading etc.
