ANNA.. Im not sure what country you are in. Have you asked occupational health about any retraining available to you.Two years since your TKR have you asked for a second opinion. I had my left TKR in NOVEMBER 2018. i had many problems and my surgeon wanted to do more surgery. I asked for a 2nd opinion at an orthopedic hospital. My replacement TKR was in September 2019. i am so pleased with my results...pain free...able to walk... well worth asking for a second opinion.

I had bilateral TKR December 10, 2019 and had a lot of issues with muscle aches, ITband, hanstrings etc. My naturopath suggested using castor oil and it helped immensely. I wrapp my legs in plastic wrap, and then use a heating pad to activate the castor oil. I wrap the heating pad around my knees and calves and leave it on for as long as I can. It has made a big difference for me. I also found a couple of stretches online for the ITband that has changed everything. I cannot believe the difference in my muscles, including hamstrings and the progress that I have made in the last month because of this. My chiropractor gave me a stretch for the hamstrings where I stand on the step, hold the handrail, put my toes, or as close to the tip of my toes, on the step and let my heals drop down. I do this ten times a couple of times a day. This only took a couple of days to make a difference. I would suggest googling stretches as I found more information by doing that than any of my physiotherapists gave me. It seems like a very long time that you have been suffering. I am sorry that you are going through this.
