I am 36 years old. Had a tkr 9 months ago. I am having problems. Still cant go up or down staris. Two lil hard pimple looking bumps now formed on knee. Thigh is 2 inches smaller then other leg. Did 4 months of therapy in still was not able to lift 5lbs. Leg muscle continue to shake when trying to lift 5lbs. Did join a gym n still the same. Leg gets stiff if i sit or lay for more then 1/2 n hour along with pain. Any body else going through this. Feel bad cuz i cant chase my 2 year old nor get on floor to play, afraid to carry her cuz of leg wanting to give out. Got fired from my job cuz of knee. FYI i have a visionare knee replacement.

Has this ever happened to anyone. First is scan to check muscle then emg to test my nerves. (He thinks nerve damage too) after results then he will fig out what hard bump is. Q
