I just wanted to share this, it makes me.laugh people's comments who have not had a TKR. I'm 17 weeks post TKR, had a manipulation on 27th March. I had my back to work meeting today due to go back 4th June, my supervisor said " you've been off an awfully long time you must be well rested and fully recovered now, rareing to go "😁 that's all I could do was laugh at her!! My jobs very physical as I'm a housekeeper, after the walk in and what they've offered as my phase return I don't think I'm going to go back. Well rested lol I'm physically shattered x

     I understand how you feel! I had my surgery mid January and started back to work this past Monday. I am still using a cane and at work I still use a scooter to go down those very long halls.  I have a lot of stiffness and inflammation in that knee.  When I get home it’s all I can do to change clothes and collapse in my recliner.  I knew just how you feel
