4 years into PKR still in pain help please

Posted , 4 users are following.

Here we go, PKR in 2016 . I have more bad days than good. I can nearly go upstairs. I walk too much I swell for days, knee is HOT to touch, hurts so bad. I sit for awhile in car I can't get knee to move. It gets stiff, forget getting on floor, I cant get up. Doctor says I'm fine. He took Xrays and of course everything is good. If everything is so perfect WHY DO I HURT. I'm miserable. My left leg took 8 years to stop hurting. Is this normal? Will it take 8 years for this one too? My new partial is from Germany custom fitted for my body, surgery went better than the left leg, recovery was better. I just don't get it. Could it be possible I'm allergic to metal or rejecting the partial? I can't wear jewelry, or even have pierced ears because my body rejects metal??? Anyone else as messed up as me. ..help

    Go to a different specialist of course this isnt normal!

    I would waste no time in seeking a second opinion. This doesn't sound right to me.

    Not normal at all! I am allergic to metal, which I stressed to the consultant before hip replacement. They used titanium covered in ceramic, just in case! certainly get another opinion mentioning your allergy. Good luck, hope you get this solved sooner rather than later.
