I had a partial knee replacement and the pain never went away, After 2 years the Dr. told me that it did not hold and that I needed a total knee replacement that the cement had cracked. My body had rejected the replacement. So I let him do a total knee replacement. The outcome is the same. Pain all the time. So he is sending me to Pain Management for an ablation of the nerves in the knee. He says this will relieve the nerve pain. Xrays show the knee is fine. It is the nerves sending pain signals to my brain. Maybe my brain needs and adjustment??? I will never have another surgery. Doctors messed up my shoulder with 2 surgeries and now want to do another one. No thank you......

Don’t give up - I read about one patient wit pain after knee replacement - she saw 8 doctors - nothing..... finally they discovered she had a fracture in her foot causing the knee to hurt.
