Yes, my left knee done in 2018, revision in 2020, same problem, instability with pain. Yes, larger spacers needed in both knees. Interestingly enough, my right TKR done at the University of Iowa, the revision done at Mayo. My left TKR done here at Duke by one surgeon and the revision done by a different surgeon here at Duke. But both knees ok now. I just gave up pickleball (at age 80) and exercise daily at the gym-treadmill, bike, elliptical, machines. I also do a lot of hiking so I am rough on my knees! They seem to be holding up well. I hope that you get the help you need with your knee. Let me know!

Bummer to hear you gave up pickleball. It was my love of the game that drive me to finally get my TKR. Even though it was pickleball that tore it up to begin with 7 years ago. Even with this awful clunking, pickleball is the one activity I can do where it doesn't bother me as much. I think because of that split step and knee bent position I am in most of the time. And just too busy going after the ball to notice it as much. Haha Thanks again for taking the time to chat with me. I'll be sure to keep you posted as to my decision about corrective surgery. I am 67, btw., so looking forward to a few more years of pball.
