Pain months after Total Knee Replacement

@sjot4u , Good evening. I am glad you are doing so well with your TKR rehab. Here is the only comment about longevity that I received from my surgeon. Chris, he asked, "do you want your new knee to last 5 years or a lifetime?" So can I hike the mountains? "You can go up but coming down is very hard on your knee and it won't last very long."
I gave up the climbing and actually moved from my mountain village to the prairie. Flat and sometimes boring. My knee loves it.
You may want to investigate the fascia around your knee. It can thicken and result in layers of sticky glue-like fiber.
Did you get a new kneecap? Did you have pseudo gout or crystals?
Be safe and protected. Chris

Hi Chris. Thanks for your reply. No I didn’t get a new patella and didn’t have gout or crystals. Ok I get it no strenuous activities = increased longevity. I used to hike but won’t do that anymore. So walking further increases over time. That’s hopeful.
