4 open knee surgeries RK

2019 Root Repair to Meniscus - Dr. Josiah Duke - NC

2021 Partial KR RK – Dr. Ralph Liebelt – NC (now retired – retired just after my surgery)
2022 TKR RK - Dr. Paul Greenlaw
2022 MUA RK - Dr. Paul Greenlaw
2023 – Scar Tissue removal RK – lost flexion- scar tissue too large, had to open back up - Dr. Paul Greenlaw.
FEB 2024 severe pain presented behind RK, I presented to Dr. Greewlaw regarding pain. I requested an MRI scan of the back of my knee/leg – Greenlaw stated “no clear indication” MRI needed. He ordered MRI of my back due to thinking issue is from pinched nerve – finding = no impingement. I asked over and over for scan of my RK – Greenlaw refused – stated he could not help me any further – her referred me to Duke Health Ortho

I presented to Dr. Joseph Cline 2 weeks– he ordered CT Scan for 7/12/24 – I left there Friday 7/12/24 -I had the results same day – findings = suspected loosening of replacement at Femur where replacement connects to bone. I am currently waiting on a call from Cline’s office to determine next steps. My suspicion is another open surgery to repair/replace. Did I mention pain? Every step!!! Every Day!!! I am tired.

I feel for you! Very frustrating when you know your body and the Dr says no to an MRI
I had similar issue - 5 Dr's, 2 MRI's - back and foot and the PT found the issue in the knee- bakers cyst
So tired of the run around
Seems the medical community is only getting worse with corporate take overs and buy outs by non- medical companies
Best of luck to you !
