Periprosthetic lucency is a
well-recognized result of loosening of the
prosthesis and of infection, obtained from
net on the following site:

My husband is 39 and just had a tkr 2
weeks ago. He is still on pain meds
every 4 hrs, uses a walker, and only
sleeps at 1-2 hr intervals at night.
Whats going on and how long will this
continue?

hi! I had my tkr 9 months ago. It
did take some time to get off the meds.
At times I still have to take a pain pill.
It took me around 8 weeks or more
before I could sleep through the night.
My new replacement is doing well. It is
so nice to do things that I haven't been
able to do for couple years. I'm 49
years old. Good luck. Sandy
