    I agree with both of you ladies. Why in the world did I have a surgery that was suppose make me pain free in my knee, yet, has only replaced it with a more horrible pain. Im 17 months out also. If I could turn back the hands of time !!!!!

    I am 16mths post tkr. Had new sudden osteoarthritis pain in wrists, hands, shoulders, feet, knees and lower back. I was in agony through the winter. Was prescribed Naproxen but the pain was still really bad. I googled possible remedies & found many people were finding great relief from turmeric capsules. I bought some and after a few weeks my pain has decreased tremendously!! I had to have the operation as my knee was locking & bone to bone..... really hope that I don't have to go through it again. Give them a try. Good luck. Kim

      I was never forced to have my TKR, I signed the papers voluntarily with knowledge of all outcomes.
