Debilitating pain 6 months after knee replacement

That sounds so disheartening. I am also experiencing increasing sharp knee pain, but at the six month point. X-rays show nothing. No useful suggestions from the surgeon. Pain is worse than previous bone on bone pain. Any ideas?

For those of you, like me, that have ongoing post TkR pain, you might try myofascial release, epat, cupping and/or rock tape. The epat is like a mini jackhammer (not really painful compared to the MFR or cupping). these were all done by a local massage therapist I found on my own. Both surgeon and pain specialist said pt wouldn’t help. The above really did. I have had only one treatment but pain is much less except for stair climbing.
