You have already had the TKR. What do you expect the new surgeons you have seen to say if they are not permitted to propose a revision.? You are looking for an imaginary solution.

You had surgery thirteen years ago and have been miserable since. Why are you so averse to a revision?

Everything you say is possible. But it is not inevitable. If there is one thing that is clear about TKRs it is that experience is all over the place.

You raise interesting question. The TKR stole some but not all of my activities from me. Although I can no longer surf run walk hike I still am able to bike 35 miles every other day And swim laps and in ocean, I live in San Diego. My fear with revision is these remaining activities may be stolen from me. Consequently i grin and bear it, whining a lot but recognizing I am so much better than many I talk to or see on this site.
I could go deeper into this but I gotta go bike….
