I am 3 weeks PO for a TNR and am having more pain tonight than I have for awhile. Can’t sleep and is frustrating. Did have PT today and worked pretty hard. Therapist also moved kneecap around for the first time and put pressure on top of shin. Anyone else have this experience? Do you have some days better than others. I was so happy before tonight with my progress. Sure don’t like this pain to be getting worse instead of better.

At 3 weeks this isn't that unusual. A lot depends on the physical shape you were in pre-op. If you were in great shape, post-op goes well most of the time. If not, expect a struggle but that makes it all the more important to stick with the PT post-op.
Not making any judgments. I'm seven weeks post-op, was in very good shape pre-op, and had pain through 5 weeks. Selling has finally come down. Stick with it.
