Hi @mom4twins4me, welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. You'll notice that I moved your message to this existing discussion called "Trouble sleeping after TKR." I did this because I thought you'd appreciate some of the tips members like @10nsmom @sleepy0 @debbbraw @u13496 @ellerbracke @johnbishop and others have shared with each other and to get responses about your situation where your sleep is interrupted around 4am from stiffness and pain.
Do you get any stiffness and pain during the day or is it only caused by the lack of movement? What do you do at 4am to relieve the pain?

Thanks for your help, Colleen. Hoping to find someone else that had a bilateral ? Do you think I was the only crazy one? LOL. Both of my knees were severe with bone on bone & I'm 69 years old.. so, when the doctor asked me if I wanted to wait. I said " Wait for what"? I didn't have a good leg..

Hi there:) Yes.. I am stiff during the day but I just read a great response to me , I think from John? He is a mentor & he said he is also side sleeper.. that's the problem.. LOL. Each day is better.. If, I would just stay on my back & not drag these I pound knees around, I would probably sleep thru it! 🙂 I'm the queen of ice & bike & rest..
