I'm unsure how many years it's been since my TKR but-at least 3. I'll soon be 83 y/o. In the past year I've developed a limp that is very annoying! Why after all this time did this happen?
THANK YOU!

@mrsrbnsn You need to go to an Orthopedic doctor and have them check you. It could be your hip, sciatic nerve and you need medical advice. Tell them you had a knee replacement and give them the year. They will run x-rays and hopefully will find your problem. Is it possible that you can go to the doctor that did your TKR? I wish you lots of luck and hope you can get answers and healing from your limp!
