Hi @daner54. Welcome to Connect! Glad you found this Group. I've had two TKRs - one in early 2017 and the other in January of this year. If I understand you correctly, you had no pain/little pain for the first month then at 5 weeks started having "patella" pain. Is that correct? I feel like 5 weeks is still very early in the process. I imagine you are still doing physical therapy. In my experience, when I worked extra hard at PT, I often had a lot more discomfort. Do you feel like the pain could have resulted from over exertion or other PT issues? Are you still icing on a regular basis? And finally, are you still taking pain meds and if so, does the pain persist in spite of the meds?
