@dkapustin, I think I had an excellent surgeon for my TKR. He also did my Delta Reverse shoulder. It did take about 1 year to be able to get up in the morning and walk across the bedroom without noticing that I had an artificial joint.
When I visited him because of the pain, he took Xrays and then showed them to me and told me that the surgery looked very good. With a gentle hug, he said, "I am so sorry Chris, "it is the facia."
He was absolutely correct. I didn't even know what the word facia meant. He was very helpful. After three years of Myofascial Release Therapy (MFR), I was finally able to start walking again. Not the 5-8 mile walks...the 1-mile walk. Just two weeks ago, I had another "flare". Yesterday, I started to see some daylight. So I don't know if it was something I said that the darn fascia didn't like or ???????. Be free of suffering today....Chris

@artscaping That is interesting and something I might look into. I"m sorry you didn't sail through the surgery like so many others but I guess it just wasn't in our cards. The good news is though that you found out what the problem was and can work towards healing. My surgeon has never showed me the X-rays he takes, nothing. Just says "everything looks fine" and that's it. He may be right but I am just going to get a second pair of eyes to take a look. It can't hurt. I just want to know why I am in excruciating pain 6 months PO. Some pain is expected but honestly, I'm miserable. If it's just part of the healing process, I'll feel like an idiot but be more hopeful at there being light at the end of the darn tunnel. I hope you are feeling better!
