i am wondering how others have managed tiredness and being overwhelmed by PT & recovery. I am almost at 6 weeks post TKR and can't seem to progress past 103 in measurement. The pain is there so I will now take full pill prior to PT where I was taking 1/2 before. I feel like a failure or that maybe there is something wrong with me and I find that terrifying as I don't want to go back to have surgery again. Is this normal? Any suggestions? Thanks so very much.

    I am at 8 weeks and I know it feels like man will this ever get better. And it does!!! Being on this forum has helped because others understand the frustration at each stage. Hang in there -you will progress and your energy will come back!!! Don't give up and by all means don't stop!!! Each step forward has some back step.... but mostly you are on the mend!!!!
