    TKR Update one year post TKR second opinion..

    You should slow down. You do too much stuff, anyone's knee I think would buckle. Get in touch with what that knee can do and you shouldn't do anymore things until you ready. You don't want to fall down.

    Knee Infection Need advice about infection

    I had a lot of surgeries in a short time. I don’t limp . And my knee doesn’t hurt much anymore. You might want to get a revision specialist or At the least find out why that was loose and what was the implant maker. You didn’t have a infection so that’s great.
