Posted , 5 users are following.
Had a TKA 2years ago. Had many problems after it. Weakness, swelling, pain, unexplained bump that shows up on knee in same spot, ( bump shows up after feeling like something pinched in the inside of knee). Not even 40 years and allrwady had TKA. Got fired from work cuz i couldnt return after 6 weeks after surgery as a result of muscle weakness.Finally got a new job which i need for insurance, go to ortho cuz of pain and told I need a revision. Ortho wont touch me, and said for me to wait 6 months to a year and he will give me another bone scan. He said quit work!! Is it normal to wait awhile before getting it fixed? How do i get it fixed if he wont fix it? Supposedly a visionary knee replacement that is sopposed to be better according to DR and last close to 30 years sucks it lasted 2 years.

Terrible for you heather. This happened to my sister's hip. Device failure is rare but occurs. If your current Specialist doctor is not helping you then perhaps someone different will. x

Hi Heather
I am with you all the way. I had TKR on 13/02/2016 and it's been a nightmare from practically day one!
This morning they have given me an injection to test for deep rooted infection plus aspiration which is draining the fluid off around the knee. If this doesn't work then it's repositioning of the patella.
The whole experience has really taken it out of me!!
