Hi, I had a bilateral tkr 14 weeks ago, all going ok, not straight yet tho, but my problem is my right leg has started to feel funny, not just the knee, the whole leg, it is very achey, feels like it is freezing cold inside also that it weighs a ton, I can't get it comfortable at all I have to keep moving it. I tried to describe it as best I can but it just feels strange. Has anyone else suffered this? Xx

My GP laughed when I described TKR as the gift that just keeps on giving!

I can relate... 15 weeks post op bilateral total knees. My left leg is my cross to bear. My IT band, where it attaches to the Tibia, is snapping every time i extend it. Needless to say it hurts. I, also, have to move it constantly. If i sleep 3 hours straight, there is cause to celebrate. By the way, they both feel like lead. Not a lot of all in all. I hope it gets better for all of us.

you symptoms sound a bit concerning and I think you should contact either your surgeons office or your GP and get an urgent Doppler to rule out a deep vein thrombosis.
its possible to be anything but one of the most serious and common complications of TKR Â is a DVT and it needs to be ruled out
good luck
