@gmajudy hi, Judy. Welcome to Connect.
It sounds as if you are having after TKR issues. How long ago was your TKR and what type of issues are you having? If your TKR was fairly recent, then have patience. The majority of people are eventually very happy with their new knee. It will never be quite as good as your natural knee was before having problems but it can be very good. I have had two TKRs and am happy with both. I wish I had a little more flex and that I could kneel comfortably, but those two things are a small price to pay for now being able to walk a lot and have no pain. I did have some severe pain for about six weeks after my second TKR but suddenly got better and it has been great ever since.
I would love to hear more from you if you do not mind sharing.

Hi @gmajudy - Welcome to Connect. I'm glad you found this site. Lot's of great people and good information here. I'm guessing from your reply that you had a knee replacement and you've been having challenges with the recovery. Do you feel like sharing more about when you had the surgery and what you are dealing with now?

I wish I had found the site before I had my TKR too. My right knee is bone on bone as well, but with all the issues I am having I don't know if I want to trust going thru another surgery.
