My left TKR on 03-13-18 by doctor A was never right from the beginning and I had a revision on 12-26-23 by doctor B. Doctor B informed me up front that revisions have a lower success rate, and as of this writing the pain remains. There are more factors that come into play in a revision. This same doctor B did my right TKR on 01-06-21 that was successful.

My left TKR that was done like 10 years ago started falling apart (because of prothesis design) about a year ago. I am still walking around on it and it isn't like so much pain as it feels like a band around it. So I am holding off (per my new doctor's advice who did my right knee 4 years ago and fine with a different prosthesis) until I have to because I have read revisions are not always successful and much more time to recuperate. I just don't want to damage the bone that is in that knee by walking around with a prothesis that is falling apart. That left knee was fine until this happened What can you do now with your left knee?
