So very few if any good endings, I am very happy for you, I have developed terrible low back pain 8 months after TKR, it may not have anything to do with the TKR but timing is ironic. MRI says disks L4 & L5 problem, went to a neurosurgeon and he may perform surgery if pain specialist doctor can not correct, point being: I would NOT trust a orthopedic surgeon anywhere near a nerve if I could help it, also note, I am 74 and WAS in perfect health (except knee) prior to knee replacement, never so much as took an aspirin, now I am shot and not good for much with this back. I did try the knee gel shots prior to knee replacement, $1400 for the 3 shots and saw no difference then I got the TKR.
