I had TKR 7 weeks ago and still have a great deal of pain at night! Just curious if everyone else still has a lot of pain at night!

Hi Sue...I'm also 7 wks out. And other than the annoyance of the knee feeling tight and swollen, i wouldn't describe it as painful.
Im not on any pain meds at all other than Tylenol for the headaches i get from the frustration of it all.
What's your ROM at?

I have discomfort most nights but real pain ceased about 6 weeks. I take one Paracetamol/Codeine tab at night because I cannot get comfy lying on my side. Some nights a full night's sleep is hard to accomplish but the hydro pool exhausts me in a good way so I usually get 4/5 hours. Painkillers can be your friend! Good luck sue.

don't have much pain at night, I take my painkillers and find the most comfortable relaxed position sometimes using a pillow for support. Do you use ice for the bruising, that's helped me a lot ...good luck
