Should I cancel my TKR surgery?

I understand how hard the decision is, I had both knees done, one is fine the other not so much. In fact I curse the day I had it done. It’s been 5 1/2 yrs and the pain I am in is a thousand times worse than the bone on bone I was living with. I am told it’s some sort of nerve pain that can come from any surgery, in other words they don’t know. Your decision isn’t easy and I know I am probably 1 in a million but don’t let anyone tell you it’s no big deal of a surgery. Best of luck and I pray you find your answer

Thank you. For today I'll keep on living with the two knees I have. I do truly believe someone soon will find a much better alternative to TKR. Otherwise, if the pain becomes unmanageable, I can proceed from that point. Peace...

That is what I am afraid of. Doctors do the best they can but they know only so much. How awful to have gone through the surgery and then have more pain than before. I have decided to take a leap of faith and go ahead with the surgery. I am going to work with a top-notch trainer before my surgery (3 weeks) and then in a few months resume training. Since the pandemic, I stopped doing so many things. It's unbelievable how quickly one can lose muscle mass. I wish you miraculous healing. Have a Merry Christmas from Delaware.
