Hi

I am 10 weeks post rtkr. I have good days and some not good days. I went to my pt on Thursday and the best at this point for rom is 104. I still have some pain and numbness on half my knee. I feel like I’m carringing a led weight in my knee.  My problem is, I’m pretty exhausted most of my days. I’ve asked this question awhile ago but thought I would be past the exhaustion at this point. I take over the counter B12. I’m excited to get back to work on June 18th but am wanting my old energy back. Is anybody experiencing this?

    Your fatigue is absolutely normal. Your body is still healing. I am 13 weeks post tkr and my mind thinks of things to do but once I've begun I have to sit and rest. It just takes a ling time . I ran errands yesterday and had a very swollen and painful knee last night. Be patient. Hoping things go well for you as you return to work.
