    Hi Linda. I am at exactly the same stage as you.I had my trkr in January & had trhr about 7 years ago.My left hip and left knee which I called my good side are now both really sore.I am assuming that the way I Way I was walking after my knee op is what has caused it but I really don’t know.

    Sorry Linda. My left hurt for a year and half. I was set to replace it and the right began to hurt as well. X-rays revealed stage 4 in both. Doc said it’s common that one begins your trouble followed by the second. It’s hard to accept but you’ll make it.

    My good one went through a phase of playing up around 6 months post op but it has now improved. that leg is weaker but i think the continued walking and losing weight has helped. Now 16 months post op.
