What Causes Pain In The Knees After The Total Knee Replacement Surgery In Both The Legs?
I ve had both knees done, total knee replacement the last knee the right one being done almost a year ago and I m still is barely able to endure pain. I have RA and I m trying naproxen again for inflammation, did I just waste time money being my knees done.? Also, under what circumstances can I request dual can braces as the cane I use is no longer helpful for mobility, and I can t use the wheeled walker everywhere I go even tho it does help tremendously.

Hi,
The replacement helps functionality more than pain. I don't know what to tell you. In theory lots of those parts are gone, yet, I've had no patient that did NOT have some pain in the area of the replacement. Aspirin like drugs are a good place to start.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
