I am 16 months out and still have that feeling ☹️. Waiting 3 more months for second opinion. Heating pad 3 times a day plus nerve pain pills at night, k tape as much possible. Last X-ray looked good according to surgeon. I hope it is something treatable without surgery again.

Good for you. The only thing I'd add is icing. I know it sounds counter intuitive, but heat increases inflammation and pain, ice reduces it. I think you can do both but check with Dr.

I have same 20 months after TKR. Plus burning in knee cap, painful calf and numb foot. Confusion about whether it is from back, but I never had it before TKR. Will look for 2nd opinion after the new year. I know I have tibial torsion and that has prolonged my recovery, but I too am frustrated and on meds. I would love to hear from someone who after two years pain resolved. Guess I am groping for hope! Best wishes for your pain relief!
