In 2001 my husband had a total knee repalcement. After five years he has alot of pain .Is this common ?

He also is having pain in his heel as well. He thinks his knee has broken down already. Since he had wrist surgery last year and then recently cut his thumb he cannot be running to another dr. because of his job. Is someone familiar with this and would wearing a good shoe help. He has been wearing heavy workboots becuase he rides a motorcycle most days and also for the steel toe protection .What do you think?

Having pain immediately after surgery is common, however having pain 5 years later is not. Metal and plastic parts of the artificial joint eventually break down and will have to be replaced. Therefore, he should talk to his doctor about his new knee pain.
