Knee buckling 3 years out from total knee replacement. I'm checking this out with a knee orthopedist the end of the week but wondering if anyone else has been dealing with a similar experience. Back in April my same thigh was hurting and the ortho sent me for PT but it resulted in too much pain so I stopped. At this time, I think I need more than a simple xray and am requesting add'l imaging. Not sure if I can get an MRI since there's metal in the knee replacement.

Hello @js2022 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Sorry to hear you are experiencing this. You will notice that I have moved your post into an existing discussion on total knee replacements to see if others may have had a similar experience.

I see you posted a couple of weeks back so wanted to reach out to see what you learned from the knee orthopedist that you mentioned you were to see. Did you get any answers?
