I had my TKA 3 weeks ago. I have had nothing but pain, stiffness, sleepless nights and frustration. I cry every night from pain. I did 2 weeks of home therapy and started out PT today. I'm regretting getting this done and am suppose to have the other knee done after this one heals. I'm not so sure I want to do it now??? I am hoping that I start feeling some improvement soon because I am miserable. Am I the only one feeling this way???? Thank you in advance!
