Hi @Gail56
Welcome to the our community
Managing the swelling can be challenging after a knee replacement, there is a section here on swelling/recovery
You may have done this already, but I would suggest you inform your rheumatology team about your night pains and see if they provide any support or even painkillers.
Hope it helps

Hello
ice it well before bed and maybe ask for stronger painkillers for night time
unfortunately nights are awful
I have had both knees replaced and dreaded the nights but it will improve
