Guest guest Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 I had a TKR 3 years ago. Still have pain 24/7. The Dr. went back in and removed a lot of scar tissue. The area on my knee, inner toward the middle of the knee even hurts to touch. It seems my Dr. is avoiding even addressing this. I am an active woman, use the bike, climb stairs at least 5x a day, and watch my grandkids. Living every day with this pain is really getting old. Local Docs won't even go in there behind another Dr. Anyone else have a problem like this? Time for the other one and I am scared silly...bone on bone.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Wow! 3 years of pain! I am in week 7 and just had a " manipulation " and am black and blue in my calf and back of knee. I have not slept for more than an hour any night without waking and tossing and taking pain meds. I talked to a lady who had hers redone at 5 months after two manipulations. For most people they say the tkr goes easy and for a few of us not so easy. Al > > I had a TKR 3 years ago. Still have pain 24/7. The Dr. went back in > and removed a lot of scar tissue.
