@kapmul - I'm so sorry to hear about the struggle you have had with your knee replacements. I'm glad you found Connect! Welcome! I have had two TKR's also and having recovered from both in a fairly uneventful way, I can truly say that reading about your situation with bone growing into the artificial joint just sent shivers up my spine. That must have been excruciating. You didn't mention where you are located, but you did mention "going back to Georgia." Have you considered getting another opinion elsewhere? I would totally recommend Mayo in Jacksonville, FL for the great work their orthopedic surgeons do. Is that too far away for you to travel?

Hi Debbra. I do live in Jacksonville. I’ve thought of Mayo, I’m actually a medical social worker and interned with Mayo when I was in Graduate school. Believe it or not my local doctor used to be with the orthopedic program at Mayo. Maybe even over it. I think he’s good at what he does, meaning the technical part and I have unusual issues. I’ve been to Mayo 2 times in the past for different issues. I do think they have excellent providers so for a second opinion it may be the thing to do. I really trust and respect the surgeon in Columbus. He is outstanding.
