8 weeks post TKR and being told by consultant to carry on with my life as normal.
also myGP saying I shouldn't be in pain now.
i did a little too much yesterday shopping ...etc.... Meeting up with friends at my writers group
i've had a really bad and painful night. And feel as if I've gone backwards.
Has anyone else done the same ??

thanks for your message...I got painkillers from GP after arguing my point.this morning my leg feels like a ton of bricks but I suppose it will ease off after icing it.
you have a lovely day it will do you good and I also hope the weather keeps fine.
onwards and upwards is the answer

Carry on life as 'normal'...again...codswallop. I can understand (perhaps) saying 'try' to carry on as normal, but as anyone on here will tell you....Normality is a very long time coming...(I'm 6 months down the line and I wouldn't cansider my knee or the way I live anything like 'normal')
Yes I've had times when I feel like I've made one step forward and two steps back...Now in my experience...that's 'normal' having had a TKR.

i was beginning to think I was abnormal and that I should be doing more than I am.
i've been given the go ahead to drive but I don't feel ready yet as it's my right knee where I had the TKR
Once again thanks for your message

thinking about it I suppose everything is healing inside the knee and that's the reason for the pain today .
