I had a partial knee replacement Nov 29, 2017 and have had pain ever since. It's been 2 years since I've had a day without pain...and have been limping that entire time. I saw my surgeon for a follow up today and he said I need to make a decision...can I live with the pain as is, or do I want to convert to a total knee. I'm 43 years old. Prior to the knee pain starting I walked 3-4.miles a day, now I have a hard time walking into work from the parking lot. After over a year on prescription NSAIDS, my stomach rebelled in August so I can no longer take them (unexpected bonus, i lost 30 pounds in less than a month while dealing with my GI issues, so am no longer considered overweight). I'm so frustrated and getting more depressed every day. Another surgery doesnt guarantee that the pain will go away. I'm going to seek a second opinion prior to making a decision, but am just at a loss with what to think. This damn pain is affecting so much of my life.
