Knee replacement

My TKR was on Oct 10th this year.  I was shocked at the level of pain I was in for the first week to 10 days but then week on week it has improved incredibly.  What worked for me was taking the pain meds religiously, ice as often as possible and keep it elevated as much as poss. The only time I feel uncomfortable now is when I first stand up to move around but just for a few steps as it feels stiff but wears off quickly once moving and no more problems thankfully.  I’m now waiting for my other knee to be done early in the New Year. Good luck 😊

Eases off soon?  Ten days post op?  Probably very little chance of that.  For almost all of us, the first 30 days are right out of Dante's Inferno...  Here's some light reading...

For the vast majority of us, this takes a year.  It will be hard...it will be slow.  The best thing to realize is that it gets better as you go along with definite personal milestones whose timing can't be predicted in advance.  Everyone's different.  And if you think that this will be a continuous, linear improvement, just dismiss that thought right now...

Take your meds, ice, elevate, eat healthy, hydrate, do your ROM work...throw a party on your one-year anniversary because you'll be dancing again by then.
