I am having similar problem
After two and half year of surgery i have tightness and sharp pain in the lower part of knee cap. I believe insert size is nit correct. Surgeons think Xray does not show that
Exact words by surgeons
Learn to live with pain.
I am in more pain and less range of motion and more stiffness than i was before surgery

Interesting response from your doctor. Doesn’t seem possible that is the only solution to just have to live with the pain. My surgeon said we could do the revision he could take out the small space or replace it with a larger one. My concern is the recovery plus I have really good flexion and I’m just afraid to mess with it. But I am always aware of my knee replacement. I have pain going up the stairs, pain going down the stairs. Nothing that I can’t live with, but it doesn’t make sense that I had a total knee replacement and I’ve decided to settle to live with pain . I have an appointment with the surgeon on September 6 to discuss what the reversion surgery looks like and how long the recovery is.

Every word of what you said is exactly what I have dealt with and currently experiencing. Basically I just have to live with it according to the doctors.
