Knee hurting and issues post TKR continue....please help
Joint Replacements | Last Active: Mar 19, 2023 | Replies (27)Comment receiving replies
I am now just short of 5 months out of my right TKR. The further out I go I am having pain in both my feet to the right top of my ankle bone and on the top of my feet. Just really sore and sometimes get a stabbing pain for a few. Still having shin pain and the feeling that band around my knee. Lower back pain as well. Clicking in knee sometimes as well. This all just started about a month ago. Is this normal and do you have suggestions. I stopped my PT the end of December after 3 months. ROM is 115 and with the band 124 so that is good.

I don’t know about normal, but I too have had those issues for 2 years. I also have a burning knee cap. The issue, in part, seems to be the readjustment of muscles, ligaments, gait, spine and so forth. My knees were valgus and my understanding is that recovery when one is knock-kneed is more difficult, painful, and complicated to treat. Not sure if that helps. The struggle is real. I try to manage with PT, meds, staying in motion. Seeing a Physiatrist has been helpful for back injections and managing medications. Best of luck!
