This is not right. I would see a doc who is good at revisions. Dr Alexander Sah in Fremont California is very skilled. Many people come from far away to use his services.H. limping - my left knee knocks with every step reminding me I have a prosthetics knee. My wife can hear it when I walk across the room
I appreciate your help, thank you.OOPS! I forgot to insert the surgeons. They are:

Please tell us the date of your revision and we’ll add that to your signature.I had revision surgery on my left knee 43 weeks ago
What do you do at PT? Maybe you are overworking your knee which can sometimes prevent improvement.I'm in my 43rd week of PT with the only concern being Flexion at only 105 degrees.

I made a mistake with the 43 weeks. I had 43 PT sessions. It's been 19 weeks since my 12-26-2023 surgery. Sorry!December 26, 2023Please tell us the date of your revision and we’ll add that to your signature.I had revision surgery on my left knee 43 weeks ago
You may be on to something - thank you. I've been doing my exercises at home 7 days a week with the ole concept of "no pain no gain." The routine takes a little over 1/2 hour.It certainly isn’t a given that recovery from a revision knee surgery takes longer than from a primary one. Every person and every recovery is its own animal. But, that said, it is possible that your knee needs additional time, so patience is a good idea for now. If you are doing more than your knee is ready for right now, it can cause swelling. Because the knee capsule is so compact, it doesn’t take much fluid to cause pain or lessen your ROM. You might not even see it from looking at your knee. So this could be going on as well.
It might be a good idea to cut back on activity and exercise for a week or two, do lots of icing and elevating, and see if there is any positive change. If things do improve, then start to reintroduce small bits of activity slowly and then scale back again if you stop making progress again.
The 43 weeks is in error, see my message to Jamie. My surgery was on 12-26-2023, that would make it 19 weeks.What do you do at PT? Maybe you are overworking your knee which can sometimes prevent improvement.I'm in my 43rd week of PT with the only concern being Flexion at only 105 degrees.
And, just to let you know, after a tough first year, I had a of ROM improvement in my second year, as my whole leg continued to relax and heal. I stopped going to PT just before my 8 week anniversary.
Seventy six. Looking forward to return to skiing. Eight weeks out and doing fine for the most part. For the last few years, I have a lot of injuries because of Tennyson skiing. I always get three opinions then choose the one that seems to fit period. I have talked to 30 or 40 people at Tennis clubs and, for the most part, If they did their rehab right, they don't have issues, but if they didn't do the Rehab correctly, then there's issues.Surgery was on March 13, 2018. I share some of the blame for my situation by not doing my homework. I saw my orthopedist to address a torn ACL and he convinced me that a TKR would correct my issue.
To answer your question whether I had any previous knee surgeries, the answer is no. I won't see another doctor to get a second opinion. My confidence level with the medical community is low. My doctor was indifferent to my concerns at the 12 month post surgery visit, and had the body language of "it is what it is." This TKR experience where I had a no pain normal healthy knee (except for a torn ligament from sprinting) to a knee that has altered the quality of my life. I can no longer do simple home repairs requiring a ladder nor go on my knee. Sharing a day at the mall with the family and dancing are things of the past! I'm not looking for sympathy just want to advise others to do their research before undergoing knee replacement. From the many TKR blogs and readings in this forum TKR technology has a long way to go.
