Hi @harley105 - Welcome to Connect. You and I are close in our recovery. I am 6 weeks out on my second TKR. I agree with you regarding courage. My first TKR was April 2017 so it took me two years! Do you have constant pain or just when you stress it with PT? I'm hoping the best for you. Good luck!

Hi Debbra - no, not constant pain, but some days are better that others, as everyone knows. I'm doing IT band stretches like crazy and using the foam roller (ouch) but it does really help. Sciatica is also a problem, but I've found a fantastic chiro down the street from my PT and go to both on the same day. Again, some days are better than others. Yesterday I went to the gym, went to the store and did a small amount of gardening. And today I don't feel like I want to die. So that's good progress.
