Arthritis: After all those injuries and operations you undoubtedly have some arthritis. You need to see an orthopedic surgeon about treatment until such time as you may need joint replacement.

Arthritis : There is likely post traumatic arthritis from your injuries and surgeries. This can be confirmed with a weight bearing xray. There can be effective no operable options including injections if that is the case . See an orthopedic surgeon that specializes in knees for options.
