How well is pain controlled after total knee replacement?

@u13496 : I found you post interesting - especiallly regarding NO pain with one of your TKR’s. I thought it was an urban legend..... although I heard about a friend of a friend who was in her mid 70’s, overweight, couch potato, who also never experienced any pain. Life is unfair, seemingly! I’ve been active all my life, slightly below normal weight, and boy, did the knee hurt after surgery!
I’ve been following the various issues regarding knee replacements, and I seem to be the only one (at least the only one mentioning it) that has the clicking sound and feeling in the knee. Not painful, but to me a constant psychological reminder that it’s not my own. Even now after 5 months, when it feels pretty natural, you can hear me coming when the room is totally quiet. Anybody know how common it is, and if or when it ever diminishes? Granted, I take this over problems with ROM, pain, or scar tissue, but it would be nice not to have it.

@ellerbracke I knew a man whose hip clicked. The manufacturer did a recall on that hip for that reason. He did not opt to have that, he felt the clicking was more tolerable than having a new hip again.

@ellerbracke I also have clicking with my new (5 yrs) knee. At one of my earliest appt’s following surgery, he showed me how my knee would click sometimes and that it was normal. It doesn’t click all of the time, only when I move certain ways so doesn’t bother me.
