I originally thought I had just strained it, but it has never gotten any better. I have an almost constant ache in the knee area. It feels like the kneecap wants to flip over when I walk. Like the bottom want to become the top. Sometimes I have about a dime or nickel size spot on the outside of the knee at the center of the joint that feels like a burning rod is being inserted there.
Ever since the doctor replaced my knee it feels like he misaligned the joint. When I point my toes straight out my mind thinks they are pointed at my left foot... oh well I guess it is just life. It would just be so nice to walk without limping and be able to walk long distances again would really be nice too!!

Hi padre,

Have you had your knee checked out by another surgeon? To feel what you describe after all this time since the TKR is unusual. It's possible the one or more of the prosthesis were not placed correctly - sounds like the patella.

Have you had these systems since the surgery or are they recent? Either way I'd get it checked out. All the best friend.
