It has been almost 2 months since my TKR and I'm starting to have so much pain other knee , actually in almost every joint! I have been told that t could take up to a year to start feeling 100%, but is it normal to have my other joints hurt like hell? My muscles in my TKR leg cramp up at nite that's it's hard to straighten it out. Has anybody else had anything like this? I'm do to go back to work on Monday, I'm a CPhT in a pharmacy so I'm on my feet alot, not sure if I can handle the pain! The pain sometimes can bring me to tears! 😔 I'm 62 so I'm working for the insurance.

    Hey Jeep, I'm sixteen month pre op. After two weeks I really didn't experienced much pain. But the swelling was bad. Which in turn made it next to impossible to bend. So six months after surgery I went back to work. I'm in the food serve business, so on my feet all day. First couple of months were hard. Didn't want to take any pain meds. I found out that for me Ibroprohine help me a lot more for the swelling and pain.

    It's been a long healing process but it's now getting better. I guess I'm getting to the light at the end of the tunnel. Good luck, ice and elevate.
