Guest guest Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Hello again: A little over a week away from TKR surgery (14th). I am having a question about pain in general. Has everyone experience pain outside of the knee itself. Mine involves the entire leg from groin to the ankle. Is this normal? I am still walking (limping) without a cane or walker, however I have to rest after pretty much every 40 to 50 feet and sit for a little while and then I am able to go on for another such distance. Taking Vicadon which helps some but found that Tylenol Extra Strength does pretty much the same trick. Nights I wake up with god awful pain all the way down my leg, but once I get up and sit for a while in a chair I am ok again for maybe another couple of hours. Would like to know if you have experienced the same. It's a sort of shooting kind of pain not necessarily concentrated to the knee. Thanks in advance. Oh, another question pertaining to Anesthesia. I had general ones during my 2 hip replacements and want the same for the knee. Has had anyone other than that and how did it go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
