What is sticking in my craw is that the Physicians Assistant, who is in the OR and I have had dealings with before, seemed like this was kind of expected...? Do they do the surgeries hoping for the best and then dealing with follow up care to those who need it? I wish I had known a lot more, or had dug deeper. My fault. But the patient education on what to expect and how to deal with issues if you get the not so good results should be made more available... I have waited too long to make this move. I wonder if they would have checked on me if I had not made the appointment to see the doc...?

That is exactly why I have been putting of the recommended knee replacement for years now. Best of luck to you.
