Thank you Joe,
I'm going to follow your suggestions and see what happens. Maybe there are a couple of miracles left, and I am willing to work. I guess I still have another month before I make the one year mark. I appreciate you taking the time to write.

Take care,
Marcia

You're welcome Marcia. I know it's frustrating for you, and my suggestions aren't miracles. At this point I hope you can get some relief.

And I've never heard of a Dr. using a cortisone shot on a knee that's been replaced. I'd find another surgeon with a good track record in revision replacement. You may need a revision, and those can be tough, but it's better than the daily pain. Getting rid of the pain is a goal for TKR, not a result.

All the best to you.

Joe
