Thought I had seen several of you post earlier that you were dealing with the same thing. I remember someone else saying 12 weeks was there big turning point when they started sleeping better than ever. Just need some encouragement here. Anyone having similar problems still at 12 weeks out from TKR?

I'm 7 months from 1st replacement and about 4 months from second. My first knee is actually doing really well but I am just now getting to the point of sleeping better with my second knee. I am a side sleeper and I hate the feeling of one knee on top of the other so it is disruptive. Hang in there! At 12 weeks I thought I should be so much better and just when I thought something was really wrong and I should call the doctor, things started to get better. Time of healing is different for everyone but I'm sure you'll get there soon! It helps me to know that alot of people say it takes a year!

i am 10 weeks po. I am off the pain meds. I have had several nights earlier this week I did not sleep well....waking uncomfortable....no real pain....just uncomfortable. Had a very smart lady on here say.....let this wash over your body and relax....then slowly move a bit to comfy position...and you will drift right back off. This works....I breathe in thru nose out thru mouth a few times and relax.
