I had a simple blog test for infection, a bone scan, and a synovial fluid test. The last one is the gold standard per the doctor.

So, does the doctor think the revision caused the infect the infection was there prior to the revision surgery? I’m struggling to walk for long periods. I was better 3 months ago. My surgeon said that my inflammation came down so much there’s extra space causing the instability. He should me my Camry throat shows one side looks to have a slight more space.

I have had a blood test, bone scan but not a synovial fluid test. My knee itself seems to be ok but all the muscles around it, thigh, IT band etc... are not getting strong. I feel great if I do Aleve and a Tylenol 3 every day but don't want to keep doing this. My lower back though is a mess I guess so getting MRI. I'm two years out and none of these other issues were bad till I got the knee done.
