I had TKR 3 and a half years ago.
I was about 3 or 4 weeks post op and began to have problems sleeping because of the pain in my knee.
Up till then I had been a really good sleeper so this came as a total surprise to me.
A couple of things that might help.
Lie on your back with a pillow under yur knee.
You may find you have to get up in the night and put a cold flannel or even ice on the knee.
I think what happened to me is if I was moving about a bit during the day the when I went to bed I initially went to sleep quite quickly.
But I would then wake up agian an hour or so later with pain in my knee and could not get back to sleep again for ages. Probably it was stiffness more than anything else.
Hope some of this helps
Good night!
Take care and keep in touch

The only thing I was not prepared for was trouble with sleeping.
Maybe I should have WOKEN UP!!! to the fact that this would happen.
