my operation was on the 18th of August this year. Although I am up and about with what I think is full use of my knee, I am still in some pain from the scar, the outside of the knee and the knee itself. I can push myself to walk for about 20 minutes. Is this normal?

Hi Ann
Welcome to the board. If you are still experencing pain from your scar and other pain as you mentioned, I would speak to your surgeon or your Doctor about this.
Hope you feel better soon.

Hi Ann
My TKR was on 23 August 2005 and I am an active (or was) 60 year old. I am OK round the house without crutches but need them for anything else. could not walk for 20 minutes without them - or at least one. Can now just get round the supermarket with one crutch. So you seem to be doing good. I have pain on the inside of my knee and just below the knee - sometimes bad enough to wake me up at night. It's also very stiff in the morning and I have to force it to get going. Have you got a "clunk" too?
Have started on the exercise bike though and feel quite pleased that I managed 0.5 km this morning - will try for the other 0.5 k tonight! It's nice to know of someone else at the same stage! Good luck with your recovery
