Pain upon standing and tight band feeling around knee are typical symptoms following TKR. How long ago was your last surgery. I'm sure you've been told it takes a year to heal. What a bummer that you've had to endure 3 major knee surgeries in such a short span of time. All of which sounds like due to mistakes made by the surgeon. I hope he finally got it right after 3 tries. You must have been so angry but must have also had a lot of trust each time that he would get it right "this time". Just wow.

Last surgery was 4 weeks ago, yes I did trust him. The kicker was I had no pain before the first knee replacement. I had a swallow knee he said I had a lot of arthritis and that is why he said I needed the replacement. I meet a nurse yesterday she See's the same surgeon and she has had 2 knee replacement and 5 sleeve replacement and she is still having pain. Yes I know that it takes a year to heal, but when it hurts just to sleep something is not right. Thank you for your response.
