Have you thought about getting a second opinion from another Orthopedic Surgeon? Sometimes there are options that your current doctor may not be aware of.

Best wishes to you for a good resolution to your problems with your TKR.

My revision I had was a second opinion after my first one I had problems and they just kept aspirating my knee and never gave an explanation so I got a second opinion he said the plastic plate was too small so he went in to change it and the hardware was lose so he did a revision and now 16 months later he is telling me I need a thicker insert? I am very confused

If you live near a medical school see if you can get a consult with the head of the orthopedic dept.
