Yes, a year later and still in pain doesn't sound right. Why not do as Ginny suggests? I hope something can be done to help.

I had my knee replacements in June '14 and December '14. I now have no pain in either. I do however still have to take a minute to 'get going' if I have been sitting for a while. I don't know how much exercise or walking you do but I think it is important to keep moving.

Have you had a 6 month and a year check up ?

If you knee is actually painful I would suggest you speak to your GP or contact the secretary of the surgeon at the hospital.

How long did others who have had a knee replacement take to recover fully please? I had the operation in July 2014 but my knee still huts when I get up or go upstairs.
My other knee also needs replacing. Should I wait to see if my first knee improves before having a new one ? I'm not sure about using a crutch with a painful knee.
