Yes! It is normal to experince pain and discomfort even after 7 weeks post a TKR sugery. Recovery from a total knee replacement surgery can take several months, hence a small percentage of patients can still experience some pain in the knee that was operated. As the intensity of the exercises increases, there will be extra strain exerted on your knees. The physiotherapy exercises may at first cause discomfort, in the begining but gradually they become easier as your joint becomes more flexible. Additionally, postoperative swelling can also cause pain which can last from 6 months to one year. Adhering to the post-operative instructions given by your surgeon and continuing physiotherapy exercises as advised by your physiotherapist will help in a faster recovery.
