This is my last entry. I am nearly 8 months out from the poly exchange and still having problems. In short, it didn't work. The doctor recommended starting over again with new parts that include stabilizers. I am facing giving up a lot of stuff in my life unless I can get it better. I have know way of telling if the problem is my knee or the doctor. I am looking for a new doctor to get a fresh set of eyes on it. I am hoping to avoid surgery and I plan to spend this summer fall in the gym and other stuff like steroids. I may have to get a second revision and start over. But I don't see what difference that may make unless someone can figure out why it did not work to start with. Another surgery could also make it worse. I have to be very careful about any new surgeries now I feel. Well good luck to everyone and wish me well!

I am sorry you have to go through so much to get your knee back. I hope a second opinion will bring new light to your situation.
