Hi @painfree1, I think you are not alone 🙂 I took naps for awhile after my TKR also. Here's an article that sheds a little light on the topic.

Are you still doing leg exercises and walking to help with the recovery?

Thank you for your information…yes, I do a lot of walking, am back to normal with most activities, and my knee pain is very minimal…I will give this situation a bit more time, and make an appointment with my primary if it persists.
