How Painful is a Total Knee Replacement?

Hello everyone, Tony Maritato here, welcoming you to the Total Knee Replacement Support Group YouTube channel. In this video, we're going to delve into a common and crucial question: How painful is a total knee replacement? Pain Variability: The experience of pain following a knee replacement can vary significantly. Factors such as the reason for the surgery (like traumatic injury or long-term arthritis) play a role in this variability. It's important to remember that everyone's journey is unique. Pain Comparison and Early Movement: From my observations, a knee replacement tends to be more painful than a hip replacement. Despite this, patients are usually encouraged to get on their feet within the first 24 hours post-surgery. The initial days are often less painful due to post-surgical anesthesia, but pain typically normalizes and may intensify from the third to the sixth day. Normal Pain Levels: Understanding and communicating your pain levels is crucial. On a scale of 0 to 10, where 10 is unbearable pain and 0 is no pain, different levels have different impacts on your daily activities. It's common to experience varying levels of pain throughout the day, with nights often being more challenging. Pain Management and Communication: Documenting your pain levels is key to effective pain management. This record helps you communicate accurately with your physical therapist and surgical team, allowing them to tailor your pain management strategy effectively. Conclusion: While the pain in the initial weeks post-surgery can be significant, leading many to question their decision, it generally becomes manageable by the third to sixth week. Your experiences and pain management strategies are invaluable to others undergoing similar journeys. Please share your experiences in the comments to help others learn and prepare.
