Average level of pain after TKR?
Joint Replacements | Last Active: Mar 27, 2023 | Replies (35)Comment receiving replies
I had a tkr done a year and a half ago. Things were going good and then I fell on it at work landing directly on a concrete floor. That was 7- 8 mo after the surgery. Workmans comp hasn’t wanted to address it. I have had a tight band feel around it ever since. I don’t know what to think. I did secure an attorney for all of this since I did actually land on both knees. Should I still be feeling like this after this long??

It's possible the tight band feeling is not from the fall. It's fairly common with TKR because of all the muscles and nerves that are cut to get to the knee. I am four years out from TKR and still have that sensation and expect I will forever. It actually helps if I use a strip of KT tape over the knee (like a bandaid) 😉
