    Sorry to hear of your chest infection and pain. I hope you have a quick recovery and are able to get you other knee repaired soon. Everyone has different TKR experiences and life throws a monkey wrench in our plans sometimes. Like you, I had hoped to have my other knee done last month, but had complications so will have to wait until next year. 

    if you have access to ice and some ziploc bags, it will give you some relief. There are also hot/cold packs usually sold at sporting goods stores that might help you. Best wishes.

    Get yourself well soon. The ice packs are so smoothing, I would recommend them to anyone that has has a TKR or a similar surgery. Can you lay on the bed with your leg up.

    Get well soon and I hope you operation goes well.
