Had TKR revision due to recalled replacement
I am 5 months after TKR revision and still can’t get leg straight and range of motion is 100. Have pain. Sleep with brace to straighten leg which is not working. Had 9 dry needling treatments to relax muscles and ham string and quads. Had a manipulation under anesthesia that didn’t work. I am frustrated and some days depressed. I go to therapy 3 times a week since May and do many exercises at home. Bought an exercise bike and have a flexinator to help with range of motion. My life is at a stand still. If anyone can give me any encouragement that this will just take more time I would appreciate it. Thank you

Thank you for the "hug". Here is an update.
My revision surgery went extremely well. Different doctor, hospital, and PT.
It has been 3 months and I am very happy with the results. I credit the doctor for performing a "miracle". We are in San Antonio, Tx.
Hi lazy girl. How long after your initial TKR did you have the revision and for what reason did you need revision? I can't speak to having a revision but from what I've heard it is much more involved surgery than the original. I'm 8 months post surgical from TKR and still seeing big improvements. It's so true what the docs drill into our heads...it takes at least a full year to get the final results.
What were your numbers before revision …. I was 65 first tkr revision 100 I still get tight and stiff have to exercise everyday it’s the only thing that helps …. But I feel pretty good at 100 ….
