Hi @franciesusan - Welcome to Connect! Sorry about your pain. I have not had a revision, but I did have a TKR in April 2017. In my experience, 8 weeks is still pretty early. At that point, I was still using tylenol during the day and sometimes something stronger to sleep. By 3 months the pain was very much reduced. Hang in there. Is your pain constant? Or does it vary by time of day and/or activity?

@franciesusan How is your knee doing now, any less pain? I know for some people it can take quite a few months but hopefully, then things will be great and you will be thankful that you had it done.

@franciesusan I hope by now that the pain is gone or at least greatly reduced. If not you should contact your ortho. When my serious pain persisted beyond a few weeks my ortho was having me come in weekly to check on things. He was quite concerned.

@franciesusan How is your knee doing now? Is the pain gone? I had a lot of pain for about 6 weeks but it very suddenly resolved. I hope yours has also.
