Hi,

Welcome to the Bilateral TKR club. The sleep pain lasts well into the

2nd year, where I am right now. I get around it by placing a fluffy

pillow between my knees when I sleep or placing between the bad knee

and the bed if I'm sleeping on my side or stomach. The pain gets

better and better as time goes on. Keep the faith, we've been through

the worst, even most doctors agree that BTKR's are the most painful

operations to recover from.

2 Years, thanks for the encouraging words.lol. only kidding. I must

admit not being able to sleep in bed was a surprise. I went to bed

this morning about 3:00am and I believe things were a little better

but not where I want them but this being my 5th week makes me know

things will get better. Thanks JJ
