    Hello Carol, It is early days yet, recovery can take several months. I have had a couple of TKR, keep up with the exercises and rest also. All what you describe can take sometime to heal properly. By the time you have your follow up appointment with the consultant things should have improved quite a bit.

    Hi Carol, Try to not stress about your knee. Mine took me a good couple of years to come 'good' Try to do the exercises as much as told. It will hurt. Hang in there. There is light at the end of the tunnel..lol
