I was told after TKR I cld play doubles. I did with a sleeve but now, 2 years out, my knee buckled in tennis, so I stopped, but the knee is very painful even after walking. I asked the surgeon for a 2nd opinion and he said we don’t do that for knee replacements. He said it was nerves from my back most likely.

Hi Marcia,
I'm shocked that your surgeon would green light tennis after a TKR. My surgeon told me to not participate in sports resulting in impact to the knee - so no running, no court sports. On top of impact, tennis puts a lot of lateral stress on the knee.
And I'd get a second opinion on what to do. Did your Dr even take an Xray? There are ortho surgeons who specialize in what is called "revision" knee replacement surgery. I'd seek one of these surgeons out.
All the best to you. FWIW I'd stay away from court sports, even pickleball. Joe

There are knee surgeons who do revision total knee replacement surgery. In this procedure, doctor either remove or replace a part of the original prosthetics. Get more information and make an appointment with such a specialist in this area. Good luck.
