Update to to my revision story … was not a success … two years later right back where I started … Dr seems to think it is surrounding tissue that is tightening and pulling back to this same extension and flexion … no other explanation he even went down two sizes should have never went back to 70 flexion baffles the Dr …. So no more surgery’s he said it would just go right back where it is now …. So I am always aware of my knee and pain , just have to find way to live with it so far only taking Motrin and using osmo patches for swelling ….. I bought PEMF mat use it twice day , still going to chiropractor for laser does help with pain ….i wish there was a test prior to having knee surgery to see how your body would respond to it, maybe in a few more years they will …..to all that are going to have revision hope it works out better for you ….this tkr journey test your mind, body and spirit and to tell you the truth right this second I am tapped out …. I have to reboot find what works …

I hesitated responding to your first post "Total Knee Repair Revision: A Success Story" back in Aug 4,2022 because I didn't want to dampen your optimism. Your story mirrors mine. Of my three TKR's the revision appeared to be initially the most successful with less pain and faster recovery (short term), and allowed me to go to PT in two days following surgery. I made steady progress for four months when improvement stopped and started to go downhill.
I'm seeing my Ortho again tomorrow post my Dec 26, 2023 surgery. I was always curious why he never commented on me requiring a cane, but tomorrow I'll mention it. I did't want to go on about me, but I just wanted to let you know you're not alone in this TKR nightmare.
