Hi, stumbled across this site, and just wondered if anyone has had the same experience? I've had 8 arthroscopes to the right knee, until it was totally shot and had the TKR in 2011 - it is now fantastic! Although it doesn't like going down stairs - tends to catch, apart from that it is wonderful to be free of pain.
Been dealing with this for over 20 years and doctors would not do the TKR due to my age, I am now 57. The left knee has fast headed in the same direction, after 3 arthroscopes the doctor gave up and scheduled the second TKR.
My question is - is it reasonable to assume that my "penguin walk" (the wife calls it that), has caused or contributed to my left knee deterioration? I had an accident years ago when in the air force, and ended up hanging upside from a very high maintenance stand by my right knee. The wrench that went up in the air and then landed on my head was just an added bonus
