11 weeks post TKR fatigue

Posted by nana082526 @nana082526, Aug 25 12:07pm

I’m 11 weeks post TKR and still experiencing fatigue.
Is this part of the healing process?
If so, how long can it last?

nana082526, Bless you. I just reached the 5 month TKR mark. I felt the same way you are feeling. The surgeon told me that the fatigue lessens at the 3-6 month mark. At 4.5 months, I started feeling less fatigued and less pain.

Praying for you as I know it feels like such a long road. You will get better! God bless you.

Thank you so much. Knowing this is part of my healing journey really helps.
Boy, this is a tough recovery, isn’t it?

@nana082526 Yes it is. It will get better. I found the hardest person to be patient with was myself with this surgery. This was the hardest and most painful surgery I have ever had. I would go forwards.....then backwards. That has gotten so much better. Hang on my friend.....better days are coming. Praying for you right now.
