I know everyone has different experiences with their individual TKRs, but my experience says the Dr should be involved if you are really in pain. Please remember, there is a difference between pain, uncomfortable and just being aware.

Hello @wesallbritton, Welcome to Connect and thank you for your suggestion. Sometimes is seems like a no brainer to talk with the doctor if you are in pain but there are some of us including me that try to tough it out which sometimes makes things worse.

It sounds like your TKR went well. I'm a few months over a year from my right TKR and fortunately did not have much pain but did have a lot of swelling because I didn't do what the care team told me to do - ice and elevate frequently. My frequently was not the same as theirs and at my follow up appointment the surgeon explained what he meant in no uncertain terms 🙂

Did you have any burning or pain after your TKR?
