Knee Replacement-when Does It Get Better Posted: 03-09-04 03:11am
My husband is 39 and had a tkr 2 weeks
ago. He is still in a lot of pain with
meds every 4 hours. He is still on a
walker and isn't sleeping only 1-2 hour
intervals at night. When does this get
better?

It can take several months for most of the
pain to subside. Sometimes even longer.
Think about what they are doing (cutting
open all the soft tissue and sawing off
part of the bone)
