Successful full knee replacement. 4 mo. later; i stood up & had severe kneecap pain and shin pain. got 2nd opinion. no one has answers. what do i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Check patella: if the patella was replaced as well and the pain came on suddenly when you stood up, I would worry about a stress fracture of the patella
