I am seeing this reply 4 years after a revision on left knee and TKA on right. I am experiencing pain and extreme hypersensitivity to both knees. Has anyone expressed similar feelings. Above and below joints are painful and walking is difficult. Surgeon feels his role is done. Where to seek help? Thank you

Hmmmm, don't know why your surgeon would think their job is done. The surgeon should be the first point of contact to try and diagnose the cause of the pain.

I would go back to your surgeon and at least ask them for a diagnosis, and barring that, ask for a referral.

Some Drs hold a title like"Dr of Physical Medicine. These Drs are very knowledgeable and can diagnose a number of problems a patient may have. They used to be, and maybe still are, referred to as Sports Medicine drs, but this is misleading. I have a Dr like this and she has referred me to specialists own two occasions, both successful.
