I've had surgery on my left knee three years in a row
First time replaced knee cap, waste of time went to another doctor a year later and he recommended me to have it replaced, went well a year to the date later it was way too loose had it revised Nov 2016
And it almost feels too tight, I am active and still have to take pain pills at night time it just aches, I have bought every pillow there is, any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, can you describe what was happening after your knee replacement that determined that it was too loose? Was the knee popping while walking? I have had both total knee replacements, left one in October 2016 and right one January 2017. I breezed through PT/OT with my left knee and enjoying no pain at all but it is taking a little longer with my right knee. I have been noticing everytime I get up to walk, most of the time I hear a popping in the knee area. Just this week my left knee, lol, I guess is jealous of all the attention that my right knee is getting in PT, has now also started popping but not as bad, yet that is. It's not painful or anything but I am worried something may be wrong. I go for follow-up on the 9th, so planning to ask dr what is going on.

Hello
Yes my knee was popping more than it was suppose to then I was walking at the store and it gave out on me and the doc said it all of a sudden was way too loose, I did not fall or anything
Hope this helps, it is a whole lot better than before!
