Damage from Iovera Nerve block prior to TKR

I went to my regular doctor and talked to him about my concerns. The only way that I could get someone to listen is to go to my regular doctor and explain the Iovera procedure and the symptoms that I am having due to the injection. They set me up with a different Ortho Specialist. I am now waiting 5 to 7 days for him to go over my medical records that were sent to him and They stated that they will be calling me to go over everything. The ortho doctor used a tape measure to mark the injection sight. After watching videos on the iovera website, I am concerned about how he determined were to inject. Maybe if you go to your regular doctor and let them know about your concerns and the issues you are having, they will get you to another specialist that can look over and do the MRI to find the problem. Don't stop! Keep pushing for another specialist to look over what was done. Doctors are people to and they do make mistakes. Don't except anything else. You know your body and if something feels wrong, keep pushing until someone listens. If we are both feeling the same results and problems, then something needs to be said about the training and doctors that administer this procedure.
Good luck on your journey and I hope you get relief from all the discomfort.

Thank you Carrie

Good luck to you

I am going tomorrow to see the PA ...Why I do not know
I am going to ask again for an MRI and if he also says no I am going
to ask why? Don't you think we need to know what happened..Don't you
think it is better to know than to second guess ...
If he also says no like the surgeon than I go to GP and ask
for one .....
Carrie if you read all the issues people have had ...and this web site is only a handful
Who knows how many others have been injured from these injections

Lets stay in touch please
