    TKR I am back!! Third replacement first on this knee (l)!

    I also have Blue Cross and Blue Shield Federal. I haven’t asked for a refill I’ve only used half of my prescription so far I am rationing the rest. It was explained at my preop class that prescriptions are not refilled. As a matter of fact on the pill bottle no refills is circled in red ink.

    Lol! I may have miscommunicated on my post. This is my 3rd replacement. It’s my first on this knee (l). I had a tkr, mua and a revision on my (r) knee. I will have another revision on my (r) knee within the next few months. New Doctor, New Hospital, New Quality of Life!
