Hi everyone!

I'm one week post op and have a lot of knee pain. The best way to describe it is like lightning strikes through the centre of my knee. I am moving around regularly to avoid my leg from going stiff. It's making it very hard to sleep at night.

Ice packs seem to help and sitting in my recliner but anywhere else turns into agony after about 20 minutes.

I'm 6'4 120kg - the surgeon did warn I might experience more pain than normal because of this

Has anyone got any tips to help reduce the pain? Or experienced similar? How long did it last kinda thing?

Thanks!
