Hi @cyd Welcome to Connect.
I am so glad you were finally able to find a cause and get relief from your pain. Your story sounds remarkably similar to a woman I know.

I have been very fortunate, two TKRs, and no problems. The second TKR was a Conformis which is custom made to basically mimic your original knee so there is never a problem with it not being the right size. That's why I chose to have that one and go to a doctor who did Conformis replacements. I was fortunate in living in southern NH so I have easy access to Boston hospitals and doctors because the originator of the Conformis was the doctor who I had do my knee. He is based at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.

I hope you are enjoying life more fully now and that all of those problems are behind you.
JK
