Spacer replacement 4 years after TKR

I wanted to give everybody an update. I had my revision surgery on October 1. I am doing so well and I am so glad I did the revision surgery. I have less pain walking now two weeks after surgery than I did before the surgery. When I met with my surgeon before the surgery, we talked about replacing my 10 mm spacer with an 11 or 12. In the end they ended up using a 14 because there was that much play in my joint when they opened it up. I had very little scar tissue and my inflammation had come down so well for my first total knee replacement, which created a lot of space. I just wanted to put some positive positive here because revision surgery is very scary. You have no idea what the outcome is going to be, but I trusted my surgeon that he said all the people he’s done revision for which are very few were very happy with the results. I can say that it was a good experience on my end.

How far away from your initial surgery were you and are you make it female. I've been having problems from the start now almost 5 months. 2nd opinion doc says I have patellar Clunk syndrome or the wrong size spacer or patellar button. When did you become aware something was not right and what were your symptoms? and what was the opinion of your surgeon at first.?
