    Hi Andrea

    Oh yes, I can identify with what you are experiencing. There are times it seems as though everything aches! I am 63 and feel 163 in the morning!

    I have taken to wearing a pain patch on my lower back every day just to get through the day. I am sure that how I am walking right now at 7 wks post TKR has an impact on it.

    I like Jean's suggestion about the magnesium, and am going to check into that.

      You're welcome. Check that you get the right magnesium though. One causes diarrhoea, unsure which one and I cannot check up on it at the moment.

    Getting old ain't for cowards my old grandpappy used to say. I would reccommend stretching with some yoga type stretches as soon as you get up. Works wonders for me.
