I'm kind of at the end of my rope and have resigned myself to having chronic pain in my right knee from the TKR. I didn't quite know where to put this post, because I don't know where to find my many earlier ones to add it, so I hope this is OK.
My knee healed very well, (surgery was May, 2011) did P.T. and it was great for about a year, then started to really hurt again. My Ortho. Doc. went in again and it was full of scar tissue which he cleaned out. Back to P.T. I'm done with all that.
I continue to have pain in the right side of my knee, daily. I have a hard time getting out of chairs, sometimes it hurts to walk and other times it doesn't. I know it's typical to have pain when the barometric pressure goes down, but this is all the time. Sometimes I wear a knee support on it and that helps.
I have tried 2 different "highly rated" (really?) supplements ...... Instaflex and Celadrin, and neither has done too much good. Maybe I didn't use them long enough.
Can anyone give me any advice. I see the left knee being replaced in the future and I won't do it unless I can get this taken care of. Thanks so much everyone.
