I am 5 weeks post TKR. At night I cannot get comfortable sitting in a chair, on a sofa or anywhere because my legs are so antsy. This is accompanied by knee pain. Has anyone experienced this and has anyone found a remedy?

Hmmm, nIghts are complex. I have found that propping my knee on some pillows seems to help but there’s really nothing else we can do but try to make it through at this point, it seems. I am about three weeks post op. Positive vibes to us all.

I too have the "antsy" leg thing going on in addition to the pain, swelling and overall discomfort. But for me, this is Restless Leg Syndrome which I have had for at least 30 years. There is medication for this if it continues for you. Very helpful.
