Hi Tracy, I had TKR surgery two years and two months ago. When I read what you wrote, I could totally identify with all that you are going through! Like you, I was in agony! I couldn’t sleep and was up all night just crying with the pain. They had given me a couple of different pain meds, but the first one did nothing for the pain, the second one made me very nauseous and with the third one, I broke out in a rash. So……..they told me to take Tylenol, Extra Strength, and that is all that I could have. It was absolutely *brutal* because the Tylenol didn’t even touch the pain!!! I got very depressed (had never had depression in my life!), lost my appetite and lost about 20 lbs because I just could not eat anything. This was for my right knee. The surgeon told me that it takes a full two years to completely recover. It has been more than two years now, and I will say that it is much better, but still vulnerable. I can’t kneel down or do certain exercises that I used to do. My left knee has “severe osteoarthritis “ according to a recent MRI, but I am *never* going to have that surgery again!!! I just went to the ortho dr a few days ago and got a cortisone shot to that knee. He told me that I can probably just continue to do that (the shot) because I told him that I could *never* go through something like that again. He did tell me that it is one of the roughest surgeries to go through. Know that I am thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers for a good recovery in time. I have had three or four surgeries, plus two babies, in my lifetime, and honestly, that pain was *nothing* compared to that knee surgery!!! Time will heal it, but it just takes a lot of patience with that pain!!! All of my best to you.
