Hi Cindy,
Whatever you decide to do, I truly hope your get pain relief.
I had a few questions
1) You mention having a TKR on your right knee three years ago, and that it is giving you issues. What problems are you having now that the knee has been replaced?
2) You mention your left knee is bone on bone. Both of my knees were in the same condition and I had them both replaced, 4 months apart, in 2022 at age 67. My surgeon used the Stryker/Mako robotic cutting arm and the results were great. Are you considering the same type of surgery?
Joint pain from arthritis is eventually very painful. In addition to my knees, I had my right hip replaced in March 2025. and had my left shoulder replaced two months ago. In all cases, the surgery eliminated the persistent and disruptive pain.
I wish you all the best Cindy.
Joe

@heyjoe415 Just read this from the hospital website. ROSA Knee System: The ROSA system assists surgeons by using robotic technology and specialized software to enhance precision and personalize the procedure.
CORI Surgical System: The CORI system, another robotic-assisted technology, uses a 3D model of the patient's knee to help the surgeon with optimal implant placement.
Surgeon-controlled: It's important to remember that these systems are tools controlled by the surgeon, not autonomous robots. The technology provides enhanced precision but is still directed by a skilled surgeon.

@heyjoe415 I am having robotic but not sure what kind and I'll have to ask but my right knee was not done robotically. At about a year and a half I started having issues with my right knee and quad muscle. Now I have Patellar Tendonitis I believe in the right. Same with my back. I always thought it was due to my cholesterol med. For the last year my walking steadiness has been very low on my Apple Watch. I finally went to a different surgeon and he commented my left knee is bone on bone and way worse than my right knee ever was. I'm scheduled for October 27 unless I can get it move earlier. No staples this time either (had 26 last time).
