Brief Answer:
Another surgery does not seem to be possible.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.

After four total knee replacement surgeries, another one is not possible. The only way to decrease pain is to avoid bending the knee and start with pain management clinic. Using a defibrillator can also help in reducing the pain. Avoid all the painful activities. You are getting the right treatment.
I hope this answers your query.
