Dear XXXXXXX

Thanks for posting your query here at XXXXXXX

I am sorry to know your pain is worsened even after knee replacement surgery.

There could be many reasons for continuing pain after knee replacement.

I would like to know few things to help you better.

1. Did you have knee replacement on both sides?
2. Have you got any problems with your hips or spine?
3. What medications do you take?
4. Do you have any other medical problems?

I hope you have seen your Surgeon for continuing knee problems. This needs investigations in form of x-rays, may need CT/MRI scan of spine or knee to get better idea.

Please revert back with your answers. Waiting for your reply.

Regards
Dr Tejas Shah
