Swelling and stiffness, 3 years after total knee replacement

Thank you for this information. I looked up on the Conformis, and found a doctor in my area. Maybe he can see about what’s wrong with my current TKR. I’m thinking about stem cells, but although I know nothing is ever guaranteed, I’d hate to spend that money and have it not work.

@bengalady that would be my problem with stem cells too. I would hate to spend all of that money and not get permanent relief.
@dmr1271 it’s not surprising that you would lose mobility since returning to work, your knee is probably not getting enough exercise. I fractured my femur in July and am just in the last two weeks getting exercise again. My leg hurts less after exercise than it does if I do not exercise. It always hurts when I get up in the morning, I think when you are not active it stiffens up and hurts. If your surgeon says exercise is ok you might want to get some, even just a brisk walk.
If you try exercise I would like to hear how it works out.
