Good evening @40brewster. Your TKR journey has been very surprising. I note that you are in an assisted living facility. May I ask where the 7 doctors came from.....were they all in your assisted living center? Have you also had X-rays or other images? You indicated that you are now in a wheelchair because of a fall. I am very afraid of falling after my two TKRs. But those were 10 years apart.
You also mention that two of the doctors wondered about your back. Have you had back or spine surgery? I am going to stand by my suggestion that you use ice and elevation to relieve your discomfort and any swelling that may have appeared.
Do you have family near you? If so, can they help you have your back at least examined...just in case. I don't know who is in charge at your facility but I would sure think they would be able to help you find out what is happening to your knees. In what state are you located?
Please keep me informed and I will help in any way that is possible.
May you be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.
Chris
