Help with pain after 3 months of TKR

Seems like time is the only way to get through this! Thinking I might try Tumeric to help with inflammation since all of the anti inflammatories I’ve tried cause me to have stomach problems. Has anyone tried it and was it helpful? I’ve started to use heat on the back of my knee and that seems to be helping with pain. Finally got a second opinion and feel much better. Wish I’d gone to this doctor in the first place. Appreciate all of your comments and suggestions!

So how did you get the second opinion referral? I see my doctor April 10, and something has to give I will be 4 months out and sleeping is a luxury I really no longer know. my knee is so stiff, and the pain. My doctor is saying IT Band syndrome. I take Tramadol and Xanax at bedtime, I get a couple of hours relief, the pain is lateral and behind my knee too...

Glad you’re feeling a bit better. I’m five weeks out TKR, still very sore over most of my leg and can’t tolerate NSAIDS well either. I’m considering pulling out the heating pad for the back of my knee. What did your second opinion doctor say?
