Good evening. My dad is 67 years old and had a full knee replacement 7 weeks ago. Hw saw the surgeon after 6 weeks and was told he was doing better than most after 6 weeks, however he forgot to ask about the major night sweats he is having. Is this normal?
Hello, As your father is doing well after the TKR I will advise for the knee replacement rehabilitation program for best outcome score. Regarding the sweating in the nights, this will be due to other factors like the healing process, past medical history of diabetes or Hypertension.  Please see that the sugar levels are fair, and blood pressure is not too rise or Chat Doctor.  This is some of the possibilities which happen in aging. It can be controlled by medication post examination. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Jay In
