It’s been a little over 5 years since my left knee replacement. I’ve been feeling a pinching pain and soreness feeling along the outside of my thigh. I remember feeling this when I was recovering from the knee replacement and at a guess I thought it was from where the implant was in the thigh bone, but I may be wrong, I’m not a doctor . I was just wondering if anyone else has felt this feeling so many years after? I’ve been experiencing this enough where I believe that I will have to get someone to take a look at it but I’m not sure if I should just see my doctor or if it is associated with the implant, I should be contacting the surgeon instead. I do have issues with my hips, I guess they are next on the list to get replaced so it may have something to do about that too.
Like I said I’m curious if this is ‘normal‘ for some or not.
Thanks!

My TKR was in 2016 and sometimes I still have pain here or there in the knee. My doctor told me that I'd never be pain-free, but a lot better. This is true for me. If you want to see a doctor about it, I think it should be your surgeon, not your GP. He would know a lot more about your knee than a primary care doctor would.
