Had my left tkr on January 9th and went through very little pain and problem. Bend and extension were 144 and zero by week 6 and thought boy this is easy. Right tkr was done on April 9th and it's been like night and day. Left the hospital one day after surgery and thought this will be even easier. It's been two weeks today and I don't think I've slept 4 hours in any one day. Pain, sensitivity and almost no appetite. Three pt sessions and staples out and finally can feel some progress. No sleep though is annoying. Just can't find that magic position with this one. Karma is balancing the two of them out I think. Lol

No two knees and no two people are the same though. Â You are at an early stage and are experiencing normal things.
Wish you well.

I had my first TKR on March 6th, and my other knee has deteriorated so quickly and so dramatically, that Im already facing a 2nd TKR (I wasnt aware of this prior to the 1st). The OA pain in my unoperated knee is worse than the pain Im getting in the TKR one, to such an extent that Ive almost ended up at A&E a couple of times (not that I have any idea what they could do apart from  heavy duty pain relief...).However, my surgeon says he wont consider surgical intervention until at least 6 months after the 1st one! So Im now facing dragging myself limping through the Summer - I have a further consultation on July 20th, and if all is ok then they will set the TKR ball rolling......
I think my recovery has been "average" if theres such a thing, no huge problems, no massive successes, just plodding through each day. Fingers crossed that Ill be the same, or possibly better, with the next....
All the best to you, I really hope that you recover well and manage to get some rest xx
