Please do not despair. This will get better. Take the pain meds if you need them. Ice often and stay mobile. I am 8 weeks out and 90% back to normal. It was very rough in the beginning and I am tough having gone through 2 hip replacements which I feel were less intense than one TKR. Let the weeks pass and the healing progress.
Good luck!

I agree with you. I had 2 hip replacement surgery and the knee replacement surgery was painful but you have to keep moving and do your physical therapy exercise every day.
