Tongue firmly in cheek, but thank you.

As for the person who had no follow up visits scheduled with the surgeon - he/she should have seen that as a glaring red flag and found a different surgeon. I can't think of a bigger warning sign.

I think it is pretty accurate to say that about 6-10% of people who get TKRs will be unhappy with their outcomes (and yes, there are bad surgeons and real reasons to be unhappy). I'm also certain 100% of those unhappy people post on this forum.

True most comment about their negative experiences rather than positive. At two years I'm still a work in progress as far as thigh pain, soreness etc...did PT 3 times and at home. Not sure if they cut my quad muscle and it took my perineal nerve almost 11 months to come back.
