Must interrupt your much needed sleep. I get them as well on occasion mostly at night. And tylenol doesn't touch it. I am 5 months post op. Worse after an active day.
My Physio. said it was weak muscles healing. My Primary care said it was because the surgeon had to rearrange ligaments etc after years of injury. The surgeon said "I had to do allot of work in there it was worse than I thought. I don't think any of them know they just throw something at you rather than admit their not knowing the cause. It is getting better not as often.

I am 5 weeks post-op and get sharp pains usually at night. Makes sense what they told you might be causing it. I hope they stop for you. I don't get them as bad as yours sound.

had LTKR 2017 going to get right knee done this year the sharp pain is the healing of ligament and muscles they had to cut and reattach them as the night time is when out body feels everything so if your over doing it in the day you feel everything at night have you. ever heard that a cold is the worse at night than in the day ice elevated and nopraxon for pain I think it works better that tylenol
