I was told not to get a partial by several people prior to my TKR, I believe my knee replacement worked, the knee pain is gone, problem is the damage he did going in or coming out to the nerves makes my situation WORSE then if had nothing done. I also wish I never let the supposedly great surgeon touch me. My other knee has pain, I will be dipped in s--- before I have a TKR on that leg. If I want to gamble I will place a bet but not with my body.
