Hi I had a thr 5 months ago

had a lot of pain after found out operated leg was over 15mm longer so now need built up shoe. Because I have a lot of arthritis in spine this is causing a lot of problems so Hope built up shoe will help. Also on X-rays it said there was a fairly large cyst in the bone. As the doctors have not said anything about this I thought it was nothing to worry about but from reading everyone’s stories I am starting to wonder. The doctor who did my op was just an arrogant pig who just kept talking over my concerns about the leg discrepancy

My experience of cysts in connection with ankle replacements says very clearly that they must not be ignored otherwise they will spread and destroy your bones. Get it properly attended to ASAP please!

Hi Carolyn, So sorry to hear you are having problems. I had a TRHR 10 months ago and now I need to have the right one done. I too have arthritis in my back. I'm worried I'm still going to be in pain even after that one is replaced though a steroid hip injection with anesthesia seemed to really help so diagnostically that tells me a lot of the pain is indeed coming from the hip. When and how did you find out about your leg length discrepancy? Its something else for me to worry about. Why did you opt to have surgery with a surgeon you didn't like?
Best,
Donna
