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.
