I had TKR 12 days ago. I have never had so much pain. I usually have quite a high pain threshold but this pain tips any I have ever had. I feel like I have a elephant leg. Just found this forum and it is good to know it's not just me suffering like this. I feel that I have been sent home and that's it. Found some usefull tips on the sight. My question is there has been no mention of follow up foR for my knee. I have to go to have my stitches out to morrow and not due to see specialist for another 4 to 5 weeks. when did other people start OR and did they have to arrange it themselves.
