TKR question

this may seem like an insignificant question but I was wondering if the new knee replacement would weigh more than our knee joint they took out. It seems like it would.
thanks

I will have to ask my doc next week what he used. I guess a couple of pounds is worth having a brand new working knee😊

Do you realise you are no longer weightless when swimming and also your knee gets cold in the winter from the inside. Some night pain may be caused by this.
Good luck..i am 12 weeks post second knee.

It certainly feels as if it weight about a hundredweight to begin with . . . like a block of cement! I believe it actually is a bit heavier, but I wouldn't swear to it.
