Does anyone else who has had a TKR have problems with pain in the leg during the night?  My surgery was 8 was ago.  Rest of rehab

    Hi Betsy, I definately had pain at 8 wks and couldnt sleep. Im now 13 wks and last night slept like a log and today I have no pain! My Dr prescribed Lyrica tho Ive heard some bad things about it, its the only thing thats worked and I would take anything to get rid of the pain and have a decent nights sleep! Also my knee feels looser today and I have more bend. Im back at work tomorrow so I hope the pain stays away.

      Did the Lyrica help fairly soon or take a few days to kick in?  My Dr. put me on Neurontin but it never helped.  They kept upping the dosage and said "be patient" but got tired of taking so many pills so I cut that one out.
