    TKR Pain 12 months after TKR

    I've had 5 surgeries on one knee and may be heading for another revision. I'm a very active person and have a very physical job.

    Knee Infection staph infection on LTKA

    Oh no KarriB, You have had quite a time of it I hope I don't have to start over after this fall, wearing the immobilizer is bad enough and then starting my flexion again after reaching full flexion is horrible. I'm hoping I can be back at work after 6 weeks
