    TKR Stabbing pain?!

    Hi all, So just about ten weeks post-op and was doing pretty well. That is, until yesterday. I was at work, walking to the cafeteria, when I got a sharp stabbing pain around the outside of my knee. It came out of the blue, took my breath away and it was a while before it simmered down. I...

    TKR Stabbing pain?!
