Hi
The surgeon does not do it but the PA does...Many many people have had it done with him and had no issues ...The surgeon is a Knee Guru and I did not think there would be a problem with him as he has been with the Dr 20 years....As I said I normally research things to the ends of the earth and did not this time ...and honestly I do not know why

M whole right leg hurts to the touch ...fabric hurts ....part feels like it has fullness to it and sometimes I feel like I am being electrocuted with zaps so bad it makes me jump and scream
Of course this past week they were closed from Thursday till tomorrow and I cannot do anything till then.

Thank you for your kindness

I’ve also had a TKR and a Revision 13 Months later due to the Nickel allergy. It’s still Not right. But those shocks could be what I’m experiencing, I do have RSD, which explains the weird feeling of clothes touching. Also, there’s Nerves that could be pinched when sewed or glued back after Surgery. Just some ideas as I’ve had so many Surgeries and can feel what you say. They burn, pinch and at times like an itch under the skin. So I’m always jumping and jerking when my episodes happen which could be many times a day. I’m fixin to get a Nerve Block to see if it’ll help. This is just ridiculous. My knee is worse than it was before the initial knee Surgery. How long has it been since your surgery ? I feel for ya and so many alike. I’m doing everything right I’ve done numerous PT’s nothing helps it. The nerves and muscles are flared up. I’m going to ask next visit about what chemicals are in the Glue they used to put in place inside. I’m allergic to a few other things. So I hope none of those are in the compound. Cross fingers, Nerve Block is 2 weeks away. God Bless 🇺🇸
