My pain is worse at night. Right after surgery, for a few weeks, it felt like electric shocks were running up my leg from the ankle to my thigh. I contacted my surgeon on the portal, and was told “ you can come in if you want” and “ knee surgery recovery is painful.” The pain is less now, but still wakes me up at night. I am taking no pain meds, and most of my exercise is walking at the present. My only physical therapy since my operation has been the printed list of exercises given to me at hospital dismissal, and being told to ice and elevate. All of which were done.
