I’m almost 6 months post TKR, & have been seriously fatigued since about a week after surgery. I also have extreme lightheadedness, occasional nausea, & difficulty with visual “focusing”. I’ve had multiple tests, labs, scans, etc., & still no answer. Before surgery, I was healthy & very active, (biked 15 miles a day, plus gym, etc.)

You sound like me before I have my total hip replacement. It’s been over a year now and I am experiencing the same thing. Wonder what’s going on and if I will ever get back to the way I used to be.

Thank you for your response alexalee.
I am struggling with sleep because of the knee, however, there are days I get an efficient amount and I am still wiped out.

You mentioned you’re fatigue, nausea, lightheaded and having visual problems.
I’m sorry to hear that you are going through this. I can sympathize with the fatigue aspect. I don’t have any medical advice, but I can offer to put you on my prayer list. If that is ok with you?

I am so sorry to hear …..I have not experienced those symptoms except for fatigue…. But what I have read people that have had reactions you talk of also experience allergic reactions to the products use to put their tkr together…. Something to look into if you have not already….. hope gets better soon

Hello,
It sounds like you may have gotten vertigo. After both tkr which were April 12th and May 31st, 2023 it brought on my vertigo and it's extremely bad. I now have it in both ears. You might have to go to an ear,nose.throat doctor.
