Spacer replacement 4 years after TKR

@ggji I ended up getting my spacer changed yesterday. The nerve block is worn off so elevation, ice and an occasional med is keeping things at bay. I’m barely 24 hours post-op, but the pain is surely less than the original TKR surgery. I’m walking around the house with a walker mainly for balance. Of course there is swelling, but I feel that the knee feels tighter without the significant shifting and clunking I was having. I’m crossing my fingers that I will have a great recovery and a functional knee.

So relieved to learn that you are doing well after the spacer replacement surgery. Mine is now 12 hours away
Hoping all goes well though 3 surgeons confirmed the requirement but I am still very apprehensive hope the clicking and instability will go away but my OS did say that my knee will feel more tight
My ROM is very good hope will be able to re achieve it
Will keep you updated!
