    14 Months Post TKR and Still Not Recovered

    I went to see another OS today for another opinion and he said to just give my knee more time to heal. He said to definitely not do another surgery and couldn't understand how a larger spacer would help my pain and tightness. Now I am totally confused what to do. Thinking of seeing another...

    14 Months Post TKR and Still Not Recovered

    Saw the revision doctor who said it is not my back causing my problems like the second OS is saying. I've had two epidural steroid injections and they have done nothing. The revision doctor said my spacer needs to be replaced with a larger one. Has anyone had this done? I was told I would be...

    Revision TKR Nearly a year after and still a lot of pain<

    Cathy, I too have been in constant pain with a tight band feeling for over a year. I went last month to my 12 month visit and was told that my X-ray looks fine and that I should be all better by now. I said I don't know what to do and my doctor recommended that I go get a second opinion and...
