For me the whole experience was far less painful than I imagined. Everyone is different of course but all you can do is take one day at a time.
Good Luck

i had my first TKR last March 2014 and again in December. I fully understand your nervousness but there isn't any need to worry. The Physios are very used to this and will help and guide you. Like ypu I was very apprehensive but once you realise that it isn't as bad as you think you'll be fine. Just remember...you are having a new joint and it will withstand anything you throw at it.zgood luck, it's the best thing that I ever did.

your balance will seem very strange for a while. Walking frame first day, then crutches.

Personally I'm thinking in the long term.I walked a fair distance 2 days ago and I'm 4 weeks out and I noted that although there was some pain, it was not coming from that horrible knee I used to have, but the surrounding structure. I wish you the very best but expect some pain.
