I just reread your post and realized you’re already looking for another dr. Try going to a regular orthopedist, or a D.O. , or what they call a functional medicine dr. If surgery truly is the only option, they can always refer you.

@kudzu I had great luck with a sports medicine orthopedist. They do not automatically "jump" to TKR. But, with bone-on-bone, pretty much any effort is really a band-aid. You can try PRP and other treatments, but most of these most likely just delay the inevitable.
