Hi ddsack,
I had a second opinion appointment because my recovery from TKR has been so difficult. He surmised from his fairly brief analysis that I had a damaged pcl ligament and weak quad muscles. He wanted me to spend the next four months focusing on strengthening my quad muscles. Which I do primarily in the gym but saturday night in my house just normally taking a step my right knee collapsed on me. I have scheduled an x-ray but when I see my surgeon doctor should I insist on another machine because the x-ray always comes back fine?

I would sure ask him if an MRI or CT are options for deducing your healing issues, since you are having such a problem with recovery. My new knees were functioning fully at four months with no pain. I am sorry you have to go through this and wish you the best in finding a solution.
