    Everyone telling me how awful my surgery will be.. I'm scared.

    Delete the negativity from your life. I had RTKR on 08/22 by 08/25 I stopped using pain meds. Was there ''some pain and discomfort''? Yes, but not enough to keep me using pain medications that kept me in a fog. There is a very good chance you will have the same positive result as me and...

    Question

    Who here has full knee pain or localized pain? The interior of my knee is bone on bone which causes me a lot of pain in area about the size of a 50 cent piece. The pain in this area is causing me to have a TKR because the pain at most time causes me to not live a full active life. A normal...
