    I had TKR 5 years ago.  I had extensive physiotherapy sessions for 2 or 3 months afterwasrds. I would not be where I  am now without that help and support.Not sure where you live but here in Wales you can refer yurself for physiotherapy.

    Check this out at your local hospital. You need help now.

    Take care and keep in touch
