Dear Ezas,
Your story was very helpful to me. Briefly I had TKR in Feb. of 23. Recovery was very difficult from the beginning. I had been doing training to strengthen my knee before hand. I haicd MUA in May which the doctor held up a picture of my knee bend and said see here look your knee is a perfect bend and I said You can do it but so what I can't bend. So my bend stayed around 70. I did CPM machine made myself get to 100 but did not change went to therapy 3X a week and sometimes would get in my car and cry it was sooo difficult. No one ever even hinted that it could be the hardware in my knee. Then in April of this year I took a step in my kitchen and fell to find out I broke my femur. I now have a rod in my knee.
The femur surgeon has taken a special interest in my case and brought up the need for a scecond opinion and recommended a joint specialist. Unfortunately I can't get in to see him until Sept. The concern there is doing anything to my knee until my femur is healed. MY QUESTION FOR YOU IS; HOW DID THEY DISCOVER THAT YOUR REPLACEMENT WAS TWO SIZES TOO BIG??
