It’s very discouraging for me and to hear from so many people about problems stemming from TKR’s. I heard from a friend that Mayo is a popular place for people to go for revisions from messed up TKR’s done in other hospitals. Some people, including a good friend of mine get away with very few serious problems. I don’t know what the trick is. Mine was such a disaster; although maybe not as bad as what others have experienced. Now because of my infection and blood clot, and a PE that I was not advised about, I am a poor risk for any surgery, not that I’m chomping at the bit to have another TKR. I’m holding off as long as I can with steroid shots whenever I can have them. I just tried a Synvisc injection, 3 parts. We’ll see if that does any good.I have minimal cartilage left there.
