Is there anything that helps relieve sensitivity and pain in the knee

Thank you so much for the encouragement! I really needed it! It is frustrating at times just dealing with the pain and the whole healing process and wondering when it is going to feel better. Glad you’re doing better after the revision! I believe that things will get better for me in time as well.

I am 5 weeks out from TKR and have the same problems . Can’t sleep at night. Pain meds not doing much. Can’t use pillows between my legs because of muscle pain in my thigh. Even a blanket on my knee is uncomfortable. Days are better but still painful. When will the no sleep cycle stop?

Chiropractor helped me so much with the thigh pain ….the first time I lived with the pain it was terrible i used ice machine it was my best friend lol ….. helped with pain …. But like I said revision I experienced no thigh pain no sensitive…. But the difference was ….. I did mfr and chiropractor along with pt so I think made all the difference… so if you can find a therapist that does mfr trained by dr barnes you won’t disappointed … and a good chiropractor one that does cupping and laser therapy not just adjustments ….trust me I went through felt like an eternity…. But thank goodness for some dr do listen …. You will get it as long as you do exercise everyday keep moving ..,,,as you see your knee bend a little further and extend a little more, celebrate every degree because it is a huge accomplishment …,for sleeping I took olly my niece who is a nurse gave to me …. You can take two , I only had to take 1 ….. good luck to you all I hope you all get relief but like I said it does get better….

Thank you

Sounds good. Another thing I found was that once the swelling had subsided substantially around week 8, the knee felt better. Movement is hard and stressed and painful when there is a lot of fluid in the knee capsule. Good ol ice and elevation, and time, usually helps.
