You may have read my comments on a thicker meniscus, same issue. I too have to reframe from expressing my anger. I believe when we interact with our doctor following a TKR surgery we're in two different worlds; the patient assumes a successful surgery will bring him/her back to normalization with no pain and normal ROM, and the doctor gauges success as he/she puts the parts back together. My negative views come from seven years of a lower quality of life, expenses, having to travel out of state, many doctors (both for surgeries and consultation, three plus years and still in recovery, two years plus in physical therapy, less ROM, and pain, pain, pain.
