If it isn't right after all this time, insist on getting referred back to the specialist and getting it assessed again.

Hi,... I had bilateral TKR done last year. Left one in August - right one in December . Still in pain and swelling with my left and it has almost been a year.. Went for a second and third opinion to orthopedic specialists. They told me that I needed a revision due to instability and loosening.. So, it would not hurt to get another opinion somewhere else. Good luck to you!!!

I had a TKR Dec of 2013. I have constant pain. Still swollen and my doctor told me to give it 17 months. I'm sad that I wasn't told that my life would never be the same
