So sorry he is still in so much pain. If he is wanting to give up and is depressed in any way please get some help. Wanting to give up is not a good sign. I was on an antidepressant at the time off my TKR (since my miscarriage and hysterectomy years ago) but had to increase the dosage after my TKR. You have to be your own advocate and keep looking for help. Took me 6 weeks to get a dr to listen to me but it was to late to totally reverse the damage caused by the pinched popliteal artery. When I told my TKR surgeon all he said was “why did you wait so long you could of lost your leg”.
Take care of both of you. It’s also hard on your spouse.
