This blog is just what I need! I am 4 weeks post-op of my TKR, and am progressing on schedule according to my PT. However, I wasn't prepared for the sleepless nights and exhaustion. I do my exercises, go out to lunch with a friend, and have to come home and take a nap. I don't have much of an appetite and my knee is always stiff. It's good to know I'm not alone and can check in with all of you with questions!

Hi diane, I'm 7 weeks post op and I totally agree with u with night time sleeping. Lately the only thing that has worked somewhat for me is that I take 2 percocets and robaxin which is a muscle relaxer together and after bout 30 mins to an hr it kicks in and I can get some sleep. When that wears off I take 2 ibuprofen and lie on my back and sleep as best as I can. Sometimes I'll watch tv and ice at the same time...gl I hope it gets better for u
