I had DKR November 2010 and while the mobility is fairly good, the knee is still hot to the touch. Not a lot of pain --80 yrs old--am I expecting too much? Essie
No, as knee replacement is a surgery where external body is placed inside the arthritic joint so the most common side effect of a knee replacement is infection, and some times clots, not the same with knee manipulatiion.
Take care!
