Muscle and tendon pain

I had bilateral knee replacement done in 2008.  I went through the operation with no pain.  Now, it's a different story.  I have jolts of muscle and tendon pain.  By that, I mean, if I take a step I get a jolt, which sometimes throws me forward.  Sometimes, when I am walking I get a spasm of pain, then it will go away.  I do not have constant pain.  My walking is not very straight.  Anyone with this kind of problem?

Hi there!

Well, without a detailed clinical evaluation it would be difficult to analyze the situation or determine the cause of your symptoms. These could or could not be related to the knee replacement. Possibilities include malpositioning or loosening of the prosthesis, neuromuscular issues etc. I would suggest getting this evaluated by your orthopedician for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.
Hope this is helpful.

Take care!
