Frequent Urination Problems still after 11weeks TKR
Posted , 6 users are following.
i am a 61 year old male from Airdrie, Alberta ,Canada..I had TKR on my left knee 11 weeks ago . I had a tourniquet applied ; had an epidural ; and a general anaesthetic .. The evening after I had my surgery, the nurse had to insert a temporary catheter, because I was not urinating yet. She drained 1100 mls and pulled out the catheter. . It has been 11 weeks, and I still have problem with frequent urination just after going to bed. I have to get up every 5 to 10 minutes to urinate, for up to 2 hours, before I finally fall asleep. Has anyone else had this problem after TKR ??? All ultrasounds , blood test, and urinalysis came back normal.. This site has been extreely helpful so far.. Thank you in advance fir your feedback and input..

I definitely p**d more frequently in the first couple of weeks. It was more every time I woke during the night. I put it down to the operation, anaesthetic, the tablets and the general trauma.
But it has been pretty normal in the last 4 or 5 weeks. I am 9 weeks p.o.
Have you seen your doctor?
Take care,
Alan
