Houston... we have a problem

[pbadad]

Ross I know what going thru. I had my rt knee replaced year and a half ago. Yes its better than before which was painful but now I have pain walking and the clicking has gotten constant. Saw the surgeon a month ago and casually he said its clearance causing the clicking and possible scar tissue causing pain. Its at the area where the clicking is. I have to get my left knee done soon but I have reservations. Keep us updated once u have surgery. I particularly am interested . Knowing the joint is artificial I wonder how scar tissue effects the artificial joint. Good luck Ross.

Ugh. This surgery (total knee replacement) clearly is not the silver bullet we were hoping it would be.... I am fortunate that my left is in great condition so I do not have to consider making that decision. I realize I brought him a trainwreck, but am obviously willing to go to the next level by having yet another surgery. I believe in the science and am thrilled when I see others who get the ride I was hoping for. Much respect for anyone who has gone through this. I guess results are as mixed as with covid patients. Much of the outcome can be determined by pre existing conditions?

...and this is why I have opted not to have it done. I am bone on bone in both knees but dropping 40 pounds and some stuff called Zoltaren has been the ticket. No pain.
