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.
