Hello John-
It is my shoulder and knee joints that have NOT been replaced that are painful and swollen.

In terms of exercise- nothing unusual; if anything, less than usual.
Thanks John for reaching out.

I have degenerative arthritis in my joints which is why I had my right knee replaced. The left one is bad but not bothering me enough to be replaced. Same with my shoulders. It may be a different story if my PMR comes back. Wondering if it's the joints that haven't been replaced that might be more susceptible because of normal wear and tear? Depending on your age...I'm at that age where everything is wearing out 🙃 My TKR was done after my last occurrence of PMR went into remission.
