I’m almost 6 weeks post TKR. I’m still having lots of difficulty sleeping (pain seems to increase after I go to bed), so thought that I would check here for some advice. First, it seems that I’m very lucky and had a great surgeon; I have 120+ degrees movement less than 4 weeks after surgery and have had none of the problems so many of you have had. And second, it seems that I’m just being impatient and this is normal. I’m going to start taking my pain meds more often (I’ve only been taking them after the pain gets to 5+, and it seems I should be taking them sooner), and put a pillow between my knees when I try to sleep.

Thank you all for your comments; I’ve learned a lot. I hope that all of your problems get better.
