Had a left TKR done 12-18-91, by the VA. Took about 4 months to get back to not using crutches or a cane. Did the therapy. Could not tolerate the narcotics for pain so I was on IB800, for pain. Fast forward to this month. Great pain on left side of left knee. X-rays, and MRI's. Knee is solid and in great shape. Left hip is on the verge of replacement, as that is where the pain is coming from. Recovery differs from one person to the next. There is no set time. Lay on your left side, and flex your leg. Lay on your back and lift your left leg for a count of 10 seconds and slowly let the leg back down. I did this exercise every 3 hours each morning. The one laying on my side, I did as much as I could.
