Climbing Stairs After TKR

MRI machines at major centers can work on implants. I have had two already. Are you near any major cities?

Thanks for your reply. I actually have a pain that is most evident on the outside of knee but ends going around the knee, feeling like a tight band. Nervous about bone scan as it may show I may need another surgery to get rid of pain. But no guarantee on that! And hard to trust the first doctor who did surgery.

I decided to have a TKR for two reasons. Long walks were painful and going downstairs was painful. I am 12 weeks out. Going downstairs is stil painful but now going upstairs is more painful than going down, and it didn’t hurt at all pre TKR. As for longer walks, they cause days of no sleep pain. I am hoping this will resolve. On the bright side trotting on my horse doesn’t seem to bother my knee but then it didn’t before the TKR. I haven’t tried cantering yet and I was starting to get a little knee pain in one direction at the Canter.
I am hoping this will resolve but actually going upstairs seems to be getting worse not better, I had excellent physical therapy and can bend my knee almost entirely, though kneeling ion the knee is nor possible because the knee itself hurts too much. I was hoping to do this in a month to garden.... seems unlikely.
