I had my tkr Dec 20 it was hell for the first couple weeks. Now I'm walking a mile or two a day had six weeks of PT it really made a difference I didn't start PT for a couple weeks afraid it would hurt to much. I still have some pain which I use ice pack for. Nothing like the bone on bone discomfort daily. I'm glad I did it.
I am a 72 year old woman living in the UK,I have had two knee replacements one in 2022 and 2023,nearly 2 months ago,yes you will have some discomfort,you have just had major surgery,but it soon passes and the pain soon eases.I am meds free and sleep well at night,everyone has a different experience,but all ,in all l feel great not to have my knee joints grinding when l walk,so my advise positive attitude and do the exercises.
I agree never have knee replacement. I regret it. The constant nerve pain, 1” leg length difference, constant stiffness, my desire to do all the activities before is constantly frustrated and it constantly burns.
So sorry to hear about your experience with knee replacement Catherine :-( These complications can definitely be frustrating. We have a lot of great content that may be able to help with this if you are interested. Here is a link to our playlist if you would like to learn more:

best explanation i’ve ever heard for ongoing pain after 2021 tkr. i’m never without pain even while just lying down. half of knee still numb. have good range of motion. dr says everything ok!!! wish I’d never had it done.
After eight weeks, I sort of regret it too. Felt I didn't have a choice though! I guess time will tell..
Very well explained
Thank u Dr for explaining the nerve problem. I have scleroderma n that explains a lot.

Don't do it!!!

Great info. I'm 17 months out from TKR and still have some numbness on the outside of my knee. Does not bother me that I have loss of sensation. I can scratch the inside of my knee, and it feels like I'm also scratching the outside of my knee. Strange feeling indeed.

Hi Dr I am Asiyah is here am 74 years old and and have my knee replacement in November 2022 but I still have never pain in both legs but more in left leg.When ever I knee my leg in rest position half-hour my leg became stiff and pain but after two or three minutes when I standup it will reduce.I keep using Voltron gel but I don't have any improvement please tell me what should I do thank you so much.
I had knee replacement on August 2023 my pain is unbelievable no Gabapentin or lyrica PT is very painful my knee freezes and I can’t do any of my normal activities at home. He has done MRI, Bone Scan and the only thing they told me I have small bone spur but everything around the knee hurts constantly and it gives while walking, I need knee replacement in my other knee and with the problem that I am having I don’t think I want to live in pain. I am 72 years old female and I do have great pain tolerance but this is too much. I wish they can help me. I don’t see any improvement. I give up 😢
Thank you for the very informative video. The Ortho surgeon tells me everything fine and the PT cannot figure out why I have the pain on side of my leg especially when I turn on side with the affected side up, it is so painful, difficult and heavy to lift leg and I am 4 months out. I didn't have this problem with the other knee I had done. I experienced the pain behind knee immediately when they got me up after surgery and fell twice because it would give out. Hopefully as you said it will get better with time.
Sylvia, I too have had a harder time with my 2nd knee surgery (12/11/23). Nerve pain, weakness & buckling. Happy that ROM was easy to recover after both replacements. Praying that in time I make a full recovery with the right knee. I certainly don't regret getting both of them replaced. Recovery us no joke! 😱
I think some of my lateral knee pain is referred pain from sciatica. My Orthopedic said he thinks it’s torn meniscus. But I also get electrical burning pain in the outer sides of my thighs when standing too long. So if I have TKR someday, I still could have the nerve pain after the surgery if it’s not my meniscus after all. Just hoping it doesn’t make it worse!
Only been 7 weeks post op. I felt the nerve pain/sensation start almost immediately. It’s weird because I could be all fine just some irritation related to it, then I go to bed, get my legs up on pillows so my leg and feet are well above my heart to work on swelling and the BOOM my nerve goes off the chart! Starts tingling, burning, SUPER sensitive to even the weight of my bed sheet! The best I can do it try to reach down and light rub all around the area and it may take 1/2 to 1 hours for it to calm down. Such a bummer. Really hoping 6 months to a year it’s all behind me. Having had over 5 major hip surgeries in my lifetime I am quite used to nerve damage and numbness, but none have caused me irritation/pain. Oh well
Its knowing how much physio to do im into 10 weeks and i was doing physio twice a day up to 9 weeks but was getting pain so ive cut it back pain has eased, just about to go back to bowls which i think will help my knee as i think keeping it moving will gradually take pain away
Massage is what did it for me made it a lot better
I have good range of motion. But if I sit with my knee at 90 degrees for too long, I have to stretch it out as it gets a ripping, feeling or stiff achy feeling. I can bend to 128 degrees and I am at 0 extension. If I extend all the way, I feel a pinching feeling, but not on the surface of my skin. It feels internal like the metal parts are pinching something. I went to the surgeon and every else is fine. And I do not want to open up the knee and look for problems. I also feeling pinching when I go down steps. It's on the rights side. I have a lot of lumpy tissue, so I bought cups to see if that will help. I may be stuck with this. My knee is stable though and the hardware feels normal. I have a ceramic knee that is lighter weight than the titanium.
Hi Joann, We're very sorry to hear about the challenges you've been facing with your knee, and we appreciate you sharing your experience with us. It's important to note that the challenges you've described are not uncommon after knee replacement surgery. Many individuals go through similar experiences during their recovery journey.
It's great to hear that you have a good range of motion. You've taken the right step by consulting with your surgeon to rule out any major issues, and it's reassuring that everything else seems fine, and your knee is stable. We understand your hesitation about opening up the knee for further exploration, especially given your concerns.
Your decision to try using cups for the lumpy tissue is a proactive approach, and we hope it brings you some relief. Sometimes, these alternative methods can be helpful in managing discomfort.

Dr. David, I’m two years after a revision surgery for my TKR. Stifness (feeling of a lead ball inside the knee) keeps my ROM at barely 90 degress. I’ve spent a fortune on all kinds of therapy, nerve blocking. Nothing has worked much. I trynti keep on with my life, but there’s no quality of life living this way. Ankles, hips and lower back have started giving me hell. My Dr. diagnosed me with a knee fibrotic tissue issue and recommended another surgery to remove it. I’m terrified of doing it again!! Do you really think the failed TKR program can help me? I’m desperate and have been considering the failed TKR program. Can’t keep living in constant pain, restricted movement, possible nerve damage (numbing and swelling if my ankle and foot). Please! Deppression and anxiety have been the latest and I’m so tired. Can I talk to people who will guide me if I go for the program? Please!😢
At 11 months after surgery I have some sensation on the right bottom side of my knee, but wasn’t able to feel anything after a few after surgery. It’s gotten better, but it’s not 100% better.
It’s also odd that if I touch the left side, I feel sensation on the right side of the knee. And if I lay on it totally, such a weird sensation.
I wish all I had was numbness! Not had TKR yet!
Reconstruction tke leg is stiff gaint and nerve pain knee is burning all the time. Im in pain since 2016 can knee nerve be repaired. There is this Dr. On YT who claims he can releave the pain if nerves. But doesn't take ins😢 but wants 60k
Hi sir can you tell me what left neural foramen is mildly narrowed by joint hypertrophy. I have had neck stiffness and pain for about 7 weeks. Can u tell me what this is and how to treat it? Thank you ❤
Hey Jennifer! Our cervical stenosis exercises would help with this pain. Another alternative would be to seek a good manual therapist that can mobilize or manipulate the neck to help restore some motion. Hope this helps!

Mine is very tight after three years. Not too much pain. 😢
L TKR 9/2015. Textbook surgery. No wear whatsoever on the implants 9 years later. No pain, full range of motion. Very pleased with the outcome. It was a rough 12-16 weeks immediately post-op, I have to be honest. It’s a very invasive surgery and there’s a lot of manipulation to remove the worn knee and to place and align the implants. I am an OR nurse, I know exactly what happens during the procedure. Final comment, lateral patella area is still numb this many years later. Doc says it’ll never come back and I believe he’s correct 😀 R knee on the horizon but not immediately.

Hi, I am 4 months out from a tkr and I have pain coming from my back and goes down my leg to my knee and then to my lower leg and foot. It is like it tense up . Would that be nerve related. Please reply
Sounds like sciatica. Common after TKR. Look for other videos addressing this specific issue.
I have that now and have not had TKR yet. I have to take gaba Pentin .
Some days are worse, especially after standing long on the job. I think it’s Sciatica too.
Why is my knee so stiff even after pt
Hi! doctor. I am from India. I tried to purchase your 28-day treatment program. When doing the payment it asks me the contact info on Google pay. Could you please help me in this case? I even dropped a text on your website regarding the same. Thanks.
Hello Sualiha! Sounds like you have gotten in contact with us already. Glad we were able to get you set up to speak with someone at our office.
So, nerve pain can be lingering forever and surgery will put you at risk on many other things. You may keep the pain you tried to get rid of and have it worse after a surgery…. Numbing, swelling of your foot. Don’t do the surgery!!! It’s been hell for me…😢

@@epmanualphysicaltherapy Dr. David, do we get to speak with someone if we purchase the “Failed tKR” program? Like to explain our personal problems that could be different from other people’s. I’d like to know before I go ahead and purchase. I would love to increase my ROM (barely 90 deg) after two years. I don’t want to waste more money if I’d have to deal with my “new reality handicap”. Truly, you can answer on my personal inbox if you don’t want to post it here. I know it’s always worth to try. Like you say, surgery and therapy have already been done and there’s nothing I can do about that.
Hey there! We can absolutely offer a consultation with one of our manual therapists or with our program specialists. The best way to try and schedule either of those is to email us. Hope this helps!
