Interesting discussion with new knee doctor yesterday!

Lori I'm sorry to hear what you're going through. I did have both knees replaced this year by a highly-skilled Dr. using the Mako robotic assistant. I recovered quickly and was very serious about rehab exercises.
It sounds like your knee can be fixed with a revision. So some suggestions - 1) find a surgeon who does revisions. It is a specialized type of surgery versus a "normal" TKR. 2) research the Mako robotic assistant. I had great results. If you like that, find a revision surgeon who also is well versed with Mako. Look for a surgeon in his or her late 30s, early 40s as they're current on the latest techniques/technology and they probably have 10 years plus of real surgical experience.
Keep us posted and all the best.
Joe

@heyjoe415 Hi! When you say you were serious about your exercise regime, can you describe that? I'm recovering from hip surgery and am considering knee replacement later on if I get better from the hip surgery, but wonder what you did for your post-op exercises, not necessarily asking what exercises you did, but how long did you exercise each day and how long did it take you to recover? Also, how long did the pain last?
