I will prolong knee #2 as long as possible either a similar plan. I wear a Velcro-type brace at night, but the sudden excruciating pain when I turn or bend has me cursing through the night. What do you do?

My husband is in the same boat! Had had 1 tkr. He has had 2 cortisone injections to delay the 2nd tkr. I have a friend who has had hyaluronic acid injections that have helped. Physical therapy doesn't really help but keeps you strong. Ice every evening!
