I had a knee replacement 3 months ago in SC (Mechanical). I know something is wrong and DR. just keeps ignoring me. PT says its a sensation because my leg was valgus but has been corrected to 100% straight. Does anyone know how long it will take for this horrible " sensation to go away. sometimes its just very stiff and other times I cannot even walk because it feels like Im walking with rocks in my knee. How long do I wait before going for a second opinion? I understand they can correct with sensors but I cannot find out who uses sensors in my area. Any advice...

@achy71, welcome. I moved your questions about how long people have dealt with pain, stiffness and "feeling of rocks" in your knee to this existing discussion where @pgcdds raised similar issues. See:

- Pain after recent Knee Replacement. What is normal? For how long? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/posterior-pain-9-weeks-after-total-knee-replacement-surgery/

I did this so you can read past posts and connect easily with members like @tbw @jakethepeg @heyjoe415 @ezas123 @sprinrosa64 and many others.

Achy, it sounds like you are taking steps to address your recovery with PT. Can you share a bit more about sensors to which you refer?
