Hi win,

What went wrong with your first TKR and when did you have it? What leads you to say it's a failure?

I only ask because the vast majorities of TKRs are successful. Cortisone shots and other "fixes" work for a while but the bones continue to be arthritic and decline.

Thanks! Joe

Swelling is still there after 8 years. When i swim the leg swells up. Water therapy did not work. Pain is bad compared to bone on bone knee with PRP. Flexibility is poor even though i worked out to gain flexibility. To much exercise and it swells. Walk down stairs backwards to relieve pain. Sound normal?
